According to reports, SAUDI PRO LEAGUE executives are contemplating a record-breaking offer to sign Vinicius Jr., a star player for Real Madrid. Due to delays in contract negotiations with Madrid, the Middle Eastern head coaches are targeting 25-year-old Vinicius Jr.
Vinícius Jr. has not been abandoned by Saudi Arabia. As the Gulf nation seeks to make the Brazilian forward the face of their league in the upcoming years, he has emerged as their top target.
An incredible offer of $1.126 billion over five years, including $348 million for Real Madrid, was supposedly on the table back in early 2025. Citing his $1 billion release clause, the Spanish club at the time declined to even entertain the idea. Now, however, things might be different.
TalkSPORT claims that Saudi dealmakers are trying to persuade the Brazilian winger, who is regarded as one of the top players in the world of football, to sign a contract with the Saudi Pro League when he is at his best.
According to reports, the leaders are willing to offer Real Madrid an estimated £302 million to persuade them to release Vinicius Jr.

Since his current contract is set to expire in the summer of 2027, Vinicius has been negotiating new terms.
Even if Vinicius Jr. signs a new contract in Spain, the Saudi authorities are reportedly taking a methodical approach to the transfer, hoping to get him to the expanding league within the next three years.
Should a Saudi transfer materialize, Al Ahli has been identified as his possible destination. The Saudi Ministry of Sport and the Public Investment Fund [PIF] are rumored to believe the club is owed the next big star.
The former Flamengo player reportedly received a written, non-binding offer of a five-year contract worth £866 million, including add-ons. With that amount of money, Vinicius Jr. would rank among the top-paid football players in the world, taking home £475,000 a day and £3.3 million a week.
Saudi Arabia’s attitude grows increasingly opportunistic and determined as the contract negotiations continue. Indeed, even if Vinícius agrees to a new contract with Real Madrid, they are anticipated to make another offer the following season.
