Date revealed when Vinícius could sign for Arabia, massive offer being prepared

Saudi Arabia is preparing to secure Vini's signing, and there is already a date for the transfer

Real Madrid hasn't managed to renew Vinícius's contract and right now negotiations are at a standstill. The salary the Brazilian is demanding is far above what Florentino is willing to pay. Therefore, at this moment, it seems difficult for an agreement to be reached.

People in Saudi Arabia are closely following everything that happens with Vinícius, since they dream of signing him. They believe he would be the great star who could arrive in their league as the crowning achievement. They are willing to offer a fortune to try to convince him and finalize his transfer.

However, this wouldn't happen this summer, since Defensa Central has learned that they won't make an offer. From Saudi Arabia, they're looking more toward next year, 2026, to try to sign Vini. It could be the key moment, and there are several reasons why they think this way.

One of them is that this is a World Cup year and the Saudi market is very slow. The footballers know that it's important to get high-level minutes to secure their place. Stepping out of the elite spotlight could hurt them if they accept an offer from the Asian country.

Real Madrid also looks to 2026 with Vinícius

Saudi Arabia has seen how the World Cup postpones the possible signing of Vinícius until the summer of 2026. But Real Madrid is also looking toward that moment regarding the Brazilian's future. Right now, everything is at a standstill and it seems difficult for it to be solved in the coming weeks.

Right now, the salary Vinícius is demanding is considered too high at the club. They're not in a hurry to reach an agreement since he has a contract until 2027 and there's time. Therefore, his performances could be decisive in determining what will happen.

If he doesn't improve his performance again, it seems unlikely that they'll meet his demands. But if he becomes that game-changing player again, the best in the world, there could be a gesture. Without losing their heads, Florentino will improve his salary, but only if he earns it on the field.
