Saudi Arabia is making a bold move to bring Vinicius Jr to the Saudi Pro League, preparing an unprecedented offer for the Brazilian star.
While the winger remains an essential figure for Real Madrid, the Saudi league is reportedly finalizing a bid worth over €300 million to convince the Spanish club to part ways with their young talent. This would shatter the record for the most expensive transfer in football history, which currently stands at €222 million for Neymar’s move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.
The financial package being prepared for Vinicius is nothing short of extraordinary. Alongside the astronomical transfer fee, the Saudis are proposing a five-year contract with a net salary of €200 million per season, amounting to a total of €1 billion. Al-Hilal, looking to replace Neymar, is emerging as the favorite destination within the Saudi Pro League. Despite the staggering figures, Vinicius Jr has expressed his happiness in Madrid, with his contract at the club running until 2027 and a €1 billion release clause to protect his value.
For now, Real Madrid is firm on keeping their Brazilian star, but Saudi Arabia’s determination could spark intense negotiations. If Vinicius Jr shows interest in exploring the offer, it may open the door for discussions. With the Saudi league’s growing ambitions to attract top-tier talent, this story is set to dominate headlines in the coming weeks.
