There is growing interest in Vinícius Júnior from the Saudi Pro League, with the talented Real Madrid player now contemplating a potential move to the Gulf country. Last season, the 24-year-old played a crucial role in Madrid’s triumph in both the Champions League and La Liga. As a result, he has emerged as one of the top contenders for this year’s Ballon d’Or. Saudi Arabia is reportedly making a bid to secure the services of Vinícius Jr., with a massive offer of €1bn.
Saudi Arabia Proposes €1bn To Sign Vinicius Jr.
As per the report, a delegation from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund is actively working with the country’s Ministry of Sport to get Vinícius Jr as the league’s prominent figure for their bid to host the 2034 World Cup. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, PIF, remains determined in their pursuit to sign Vinícius Jr from Real Madrid.
As per Relevo, they have made an offer of €1bn to sign Vinicius Jr. which will span over five years. A breakdown of this proposal will see the 24-year-old earn €200 million a year. His potential salary would skyrocket to a staggering €1 BILLION, a whopping 13 times larger than his current earnings. Vinícius Jr. has an enticing salary package that not only includes free agency in 2029, but also offers him the chance to make a return to Europe before he reaches the age of 30. After he retires, he can also get any job he wants in Saudi Arabia football. In addition, Vinícius Jr. would serve as an ambassador for the 2034 World Cup.
Madrid remains optimistic that Vinícius Jr. will decline the offer. However, even if he doesn’t join this summer, the possibility of the offer remaining open in the future is still on the table.
Why Vinicius Jr.?
They hope to sign Vinícius this summer and make him the face of their league. But the 24-year-old is set on winning the Ballon d’Or as a Real Madrid player, therefore it’s highly likely that he will turn down the offer.
According to the report, Saudi Arabia remains determined and is prepared to make a comeback next year if a deal cannot be reached this summer. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund has a stake in four teams competing in the Saudi Pro League: Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, and Al-Ahli. Al Hilal, the most successful club in Saudi Arabia made their biggest transfer when they splashed a staggering $150 million to secure the services of Neymar from Paris Saint Germain.
With Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr and Karim Benzema at Al Ittihad, PIF attempted to convince France’s captain Kylian Mbappe to be the huge name that Al Ahli was still lacking last season. In June, the forward declined a lucrative offer from Saudi and instead chose to join Real Madrid. The proposed deal for Vinicius is believed to bear a striking resemblance to the offer made for Mbappe.
What Next For Real Madrid
Real Madrid has their eyes on yet another promising Brazilian talent. As reported by ESPN Brasil, Vitor Reis has caught the attention of the Spanish champions. Reis is an 18-year-old central defender, currently developing his skills with Palmerias. He is highly esteemed in his home country, and this is shown by his consistent selection for the Brazilian youth team. His impressive performances at Palmeiras in 2024 have caught the attention of clubs across Europe.
There have been no discussions with Palmeiras yet, but it is anticipated that talks will take place before the end of the summer. It remains to be seen if Real Madrid will secure the signing of the promising youngster.
