Saudi Arabia About to Cast the Bait: the $350 Million Offer for Vinícius

The Saudi football proposal for the Brazilian from Real Madrid will arrive in the coming months.

Saudi Arabia is determined to rekindle its interest in Vinícius. The Brazilian, who already turned down 1 billion euros spread over 5 seasons, might receive another proposal in the coming months. In the summer 2025 transfer window, the Saudis will attempt to execute the largest transfer in soccer history.

The Arab country has set the signing of the winger from Sao Gonçalo as a priority to strengthen its investment in soccer. In England, there is speculation that they are willing to present an offer that would break all records: 350 million euros. The current record for the most expensive transfer is 222 million euros, a figure that PSG paid to Barcelona for Neymar Jr.

Which Teams Want to Sign Vinícius?

According to 'Give Me Sport', Al-Ahli is the best-positioned club to sign Vinícius if the Brazilian player decides to move to Saudi Arabia. Al Hilal and Al Nassr, the team where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, are also in the race for the footballer. In fact, Al-Ahli already has stars like Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino, and Gabri Veiga.

Vinícius has a contract with Real Madrid until 2027, after renewing his bond in October 2023. Additionally, he has always expressed his desire to continue for many years at the Chamartín club. The release clause for the winger from Sao Gonçalo is 1 billion euros, an amount to which the Madrid club refers in case of any possible offer.

What Do They Think at Real Madrid?

The situation at Real Madrid is clear: if the player requests to leave, the impressive different offers from Saudi Arabia will be considered. However, if Vinícius wants to stay, the club will refer to the 1 billion euro clause. Additionally, the club is already working on the player's renewal, which would put an end to all the commotion caused.

In Saudi Arabia, they have set the goal of signing the best footballers in the world and want Vinícius to be the standard-bearer. Nevertheless, the departure of the Brazilian player from Real Madrid, at 25 years old, would be a complete surprise.
