Al-Ittihad dreams of bringing Benzema and Vini together, an executive speaks: 'I don't rule it out'

The surprising statements with which an Al-Ittihad executive has addressed the possible signing of Vinicius Júnior

The main topic of conversation in this summer's transfer market is Vinicius's contract renewal with Real Madrid. Since the player hasn't signed yet, Al-Ittihad's sporting director, Ramón Planes, stated, "I don't rule it out at all; I think he fits with the idea and the plan of becoming one of the most powerful leagues in the world."

With these words, Ramón left open the possibility of signing the Real Madrid star. "Vinicius undoubtedly has all the qualities to join this league," he added. According to what we know at Defensa Central, the problem with the renewal is Vinicius's demand to have a salary similar to Mbappé's.

This is a condition that, if the club accepts, would break the care it has kept with the salary cap. In addition, this could create other types of problems within the squad. With nothing concrete regarding Vinicius's future, the threat from Arabia is becoming more present.

Arabia's great desire

Since last summer, Arabia has tried to entice Vinicius to decide to leave Real Madrid with a significant offer. The 25-year-old forward, at the time, rejected all the offers. This is because, as he has stated countless times, his greatest dream is to keep making history at Real Madrid.

Despite trying to stop the Arab attempts with these statements, Vinicius only managed to motivate Arabia even more. It has been reported that the offer being planned will be historic. Arabia is willing to offer Vinicius a salary of €1 billion (1,000 million euros).

Although this will be divided over 5 seasons, it is still a considerable amount. In addition, in order to secure his signing, Arabia would also present a major offer to Real Madrid. €350 million (350 million euros) to acquire the services of Vinicius Júnior.

The constant attempts for Vinicius

Despite the money Arabia plans to offer for Vinicius, Real Madrid's intention hasn't changed. The club is seeking to reach an agreement to renew the player's contract. However, if they can't achieve it, Vinicius would be a major sale for the club.
