Saudi Arabia Prepares Massive Offer for Vinícius Júnior
According to reports, Saudi Arabia is preparing an unprecedented 300 million euro offer to acquire Vinícius Júnior from Real Madrid. The Saudi Pro League is reportedly targeting the Brazilian star in what could become the most expensive transfer in football history.
The Saudi league has been aggressively positioning itself as a top global football destination in recent years, attracting high-profile players like Benzema, Neymar, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Now, with increased media attention, they aim to make another significant statement by pursuing one of Europe’s brightest young talents.
Sources suggest that Saudi officials are preparing a 300 million euro offer for Real Madrid and a staggering salary package exceeding 200 million euros per season for Vinícius. If realized, this transfer would shatter the current record set by Neymar’s 222 million euro move to PSG.
Real Madrid’s Stance
Despite the enormous offer, Real Madrid is not considering selling one of their key assets. The club is standing firm on Vinícius’ release clause, set at 1 billion euros. Real Madrid’s position is clear: either pay the full release clause or the player stays, as he is under contract until 2027.
However, there is a potential scenario where Madrid might negotiate: if Vinícius himself requests a transfer. The club has a history of not retaining players against their will, as demonstrated in Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Juventus.
The decision ultimately rests with Vinícius. At 24 years old, he must consider whether he’s willing to leave European football for the Saudi league in exchange for one of the most lucrative contracts in sports history. Real Madrid is bracing for intense speculation from the Middle East in the upcoming summer transfer window.
