Saudi Arabia Plans €240 Million Offer for Vinícius Jr., According to ‘The Telegraph’
Despite rumors about his future diminishing, alarms are still ringing at Real Madrid regarding Vinícius Jr.’s situation. The Brazilian forward is contracted with the club until the summer of 2027, and the club’s leadership is keen to extend his contract as soon as possible. Negotiations reportedly began after his loss in the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
It was at that point that Vinícius rejected Real Madrid’s initial attempt to renew his contract, creating some instability around his situation in the Santiago Bernabéu dressing room. The club, as well as the player’s entourage, have kept a strict silence on the matter, leaking only subtle messages through various sources.
One of these messages highlights Real Madrid’s stance on the situation. Executives, led by Florentino Pérez, are well aware that Vinícius Jr. is crucial for both current and future sports projects. They intend to pursue his renewal until the end and will not allow him to leave before his contract expires. Any potential suitor looking to acquire him before 2027 will need to meet his release clause, set at €1 billion.
A New Attempt
At least for now, it seems that Saudi Arabia is not prepared to meet that hefty request. Real Madrid will not take any action nor allow Vinícius to leave unless they are certain that the Brazilian player wants to leave Madrid before his contract ends. According to The Telegraph, Saudi Arabia is preparing a significant move during the upcoming summer to destabilize the “Vinícius case.”
The British newspaper revealed that the Saudi Pro League is planning to make an offer worth €240 million for Vinícius, aiming to persuade Real Madrid to let go of one of their star players. The deal would be structured as a transfer fee to facilitate the player’s move out of Spain.
Further Uncertainty
This bold move by the Saudi Pro League is meant to address one of the biggest ongoing concerns for Real Madrid in recent years. After the constant speculation surrounding Kylian Mbappé, a potential future Real Madrid player for the past seven years, the “Vinícius case” could mark a turning point for the club.
Very few know what Vinícius truly plans for his competitive future. His win at the Ballon d’Or in October gave him reasons to stay with Real Madrid and increase his financial worth. However, missing out on that prestigious individual award, which holds great importance for him, could change his future trajectory, keeping him in Madrid as he pursues the chance to win the coveted prize.
