Vinícius Júnior has garnered significant attention in Saudi Arabia. The Brazilian football star is being linked as the next major target from the Middle East. Real Madrid is keen on extending the winger’s contract, but the club needs to act quickly.
The longer the delay in Vinícius Júnior’s contract renewal, the more confident Al-Ahli becomes in sealing a deal. The club is reportedly considering a record-breaking offer of 350 million euros, far surpassing Neymar’s 220 million euro transfer record.
This isn’t the first time rumours have surfaced about the Brazilian’s potential move to Saudi Arabia. Back in March, a staggering offer was already being discussed. Journalist Ben Jacobs from TalkSPORT highlights that close attention is being paid to Vinícius Júnior’s contract negotiations.
The winger has previously expressed his desire to renew his deal with Real Madrid, though no official agreement has been reached yet. His current contract is set to expire in mid-2027, making it crucial for Real to take swift action to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
The continued delay in securing his contract extension is boosting confidence in Saudi Arabia. Al-Ahli is waiting for the right opportunity to approach Vinícius Júnior with a formal offer.
The club is prepared to invest heavily in acquiring his signature. Real Madrid could potentially receive a bid of 350 million euros, while the player himself might be offered a salary surpassing the 1 billion euro mark (!).
