Guti's Advice to Vinícius about Arabia and the Big Offer They are Preparing for Him

The former Real Madrid player is very clear about what he would do in his position

The "Vinícius case" is advancing considerably. Although the "7" remains focused on performing at his best with Real Madrid this season, the arrival of an offer from Saudi Arabia worries Madrid. Especially because of the figures being discussed, which exceed 1 billion euros in total offer.

His departure could be as unexpected as it is set to happen, something that Madrid fans wouldn't like. Nor would some former players like Guti. The former "14" of the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez, however, has made his point of view very clear regarding this issue.

In his latest appearance on El Chiringuito de Jugones, the former Spanish midfielder pointed out that he would let Vini leave "if he asked me to leave." Considering that Saudi would make an offer not less than 300 million euros for the center-forward. Despite everything, "I would try to convince him not to" accept leaving behind the European soccer elite at just 25 years old.

Guti understands that Vinícius "has to hold on" because "he's going to have that offer in three or four years anyway. He's going to have it, I'm clear about it", states the now Madrid commentator. He also doesn't hide his opinion regarding Vinícius's departure, calling it "a problem".

Course of action set

Because the Carioca striker right now "is in the top-3 of the best players in the world. It's always a problem when great players leave", states the former midfielder of the Madrid entity. Guti has no doubts about a 'Vinícius case' that he would solve with a lot of patience.

According to Guti, Saudi Arabia's interest will remain even when he crosses or is about to cross the 30-year-old barrier. At that moment, Vinícius could indeed consider a change of scenery... just at the same time that the board led by Florentino Pérez would have found his replacement and heir in Santiago Bernabéu locker room.

The multimillion-dollar offer that Saudi would be preparing, about 1.3 billion in total according to journalist Manuel de Juan, represents a significant focus of attention for some footballers. Especially considering that the Saudi Pro League is making its best efforts, albeit with exorbitant amounts of money, to attract increasingly younger talent.

Now everything depends on Vinícius himself, who for now has the door open to renew with Real Madrid. In the Valdebebas offices, they will wait until this summer for a signature that would greatly calm things down and dispel rumors about Saudi Arabia for a few more seasons.
