Saudi Arabia remains determined to bring the world's best players to its leagues. After approaching Vinícius, who rejected an astronomical offer, they already have another target in sight: Mohamed Salah and Rodrygo Goes.
In Saudi Arabia, they see Salah as the favorite due to his age, cultural connection, and significant impact in the region. His figure would fit perfectly as the next great ambassador of Saudi soccer, a role they seek to reinforce with world-renowned stars.
Al-Hilal, backed by the powerful PIF fund, is leading this operation. Additionally, the proximity of the Club World Cup in which Al-Hilal will participate could be a key tool to seduce the Egyptian.
Rodrygo, a strategic bet
Although Salah is the priority, Saudi clubs don't rule out going after Rodrygo Goes, current Real Madrid player. The Brazilian winger, at just 24 years old, would fit into the Saudi league's long-term vision to rejuvenate its international projection.
The interest in Rodrygo would also be led by Al-Hilal. The club believes that the Brazilian can bring youth, quality, and experience in international competitions. After winning two Champions Leagues with Real Madrid and having a prominent role.
Al-Hilal and its key role
Al-Hilal is becoming the spearhead of Saudi football. Thanks to its participation in the Club World Cup, they want to increase their media exposure and attract more global stars.
Additionally, their economic capacity, backed by Saudi Arabia, allows them to compete on equal footing with major European clubs. Rodrygo would be a star signing to consolidate their sports project.
They have also approached other big stars like Van Dijk, who is finishing his contract with Liverpool.
Vinícius, an almost impossible option
Despite their initial attempts, Saudi Arabia sees it increasingly difficult to convince Vinícius Jr. The Brazilian is a key piece at Real Madrid and has recently renewed his contract with the white club.
Therefore, the focus has shifted to Salah and Rodrygo. The battle to attract them promises to be one of the most followed stories in the upcoming transfer market.
Saudi Arabia doesn't stop in its ambition to turn its league into a global benchmark.
