The Surreal Offer Saudi Arabia Is Preparing for Vinícius, Florentino Already Has a Response

The Vinícius Saga, despite the team's strong competitive performance, doesn't stop. Carlo Ancelotti's players have progressed to the Copa del Rey semifinals, gaining a slight advantage from their visit to the Reale Arena. They have also reached the Champions League round of 16 after eliminating Manchester City, aiming to win LaLiga this season.

One of the key footballers to determine the outcome of these three competitions will undoubtedly be Vinícius Jr. The South American striker, since his defeat in the Ballon d'Or, has become the protagonist of a complicated "case" centered on the offers sent from Saudi Arabia to sign him. In the Valdebebas offices, they do not hesitate to respond to the rumors.

Any team wishing to sign Vinícius before the summer of 2027, when his current contract with the white team ends, must pay his release clause valued at 1 billion. Such an amount, prohibitive even for the emissaries of the Saudi Pro League, puts the saga on stand-by in the most demanding and committed part of the current soccer season.

But it doesn't mean that clubs like Al-Hilal have given up. The information published by journalists like Ekrem Konur suggests that Saudi Arabia's insistence on acquiring Vinícius's services will not be easily dispelled.

Opposing Positions

As also reported by The Telegraph in recent hours, the Turkish journalist points out that Al-Hilal would have planned to send a 240 million euro offer for Vinícius. This high transfer for the Madridist '7' verdeamarelo, although not an official figure, has reached the board led by Florentino Pérez. The Real Madrid president has not hesitated to condemn, to his inner circle, this striking approach.

"For that price, they don't even pay for one of Vini's toenails," reveals the Real Madrid boss. The forcefulness with which Florentino Pérez has replied to the Saudi Arabian offer reinforces the roadmap of the entity he presides over. Because the main objective of the white emissaries is to secure the renewal of the Brazilian star as soon as possible.

Only by extending Vinícius's current contract, through a temporary extension and a considerable salary increase, would Saudi Arabia's interests be severely damaged. From the Asian country, they insist on acquiring the Madridist striker's contract in the summer of 2025, a proposal that Real Madrid doesn't wish to consider or accept under any circumstances.

The positions in this saga are reinforced over time. Saudi Arabia's insistence meets with Real Madrid's firm refusal to let one of their best footballers go. In the middle is Vinícius himself, who has not yet revealedthe plans he has for his soccer future.
