Vinicius Meets with Saudi Representatives: Real Madrid’s Firm Response

Real Madrid has already responded to the growing interest from Saudi Arabia in Vinicius Jr. The club has made it clear that any potential departure will only happen under specific conditions.

Saudi Arabian clubs have been pursuing Vinicius with serious intent from the beginning. They have made it known that securing the Brazilian star is a top priority, and to back this up, they presented him with an offer that is hard to refuse—not just financially, but also personally and within the framework of their sports project. According to recent reports from Radio Marca, Vinicius himself met with Saudi Arabian representatives, including some members of the royal family, before the negotiations began. They laid out their vision for him, and it seems Vinicius was quite intrigued by what they offered.

Real Madrid’s Response to the Offer

Upon learning of Vinicius’s interest, Real Madrid has taken action, with sources from Valdebebas indicating that the club’s response has been clear and firm: “He will leave if they pay the release clause.” Real Madrid’s stance is not to enter negotiations and they are not worried about the potential departure of their star player. They inserted a hefty anti-Saudi clause of €1 billion into his contract, and that is the amount that would need to be paid for Vinicius to leave the Bernabéu this summer.

The club has made it clear that they are not looking to sell, and only if Vinicius expresses a desire to leave will they consider negotiating a lower price. However, Real Madrid is determined not to let him go for a bargain price while he is under contract. This summer, Vinicius will have to decide what direction he wants to take with his future.
