 "Saudi Arabia plan Earth-shattering €350 million bid for Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior: Report")
Saudi Arabia are reportedly monitoring the situation of Vinicius Jr. at Real Madrid and are ready to splurge a whopping €350 million on the Brazilian superstar. The Middle-Eastern nation has been after the Real Madrid star for quite some time, but the interest did not make much waves in recent months as Vini is in advanced talks of a possible renewal.
As per a report that dropped back in April, Vinicius was set to sign a contract extension with Real Madrid before summer. However, both parties are still negotiating a new deal and have yet to reach the same page. Hence, the situation has brought the Saudi Pro League clubs back into the scene, as per a report by talkSPORT.
Vinicius Junior wants to continue at Real Madrid
The Los Blancos, however, are not concerned with the presence of Saudi clubs and the wherewithal they got. The 25-year-old winger is under contract with Real Madrid till 2027. Moreover, Vini has made it clear that he wants to remain at the Bernabeu.
Though there is no inclination that a new Real Madrid contract will not be signed, there is nothing stopping Saudi officials to try and lure Vinicius Jr. They are ready to offer around €350 million – a world-record figure that would eclipse the €222 million PSG paid for Neymar in 2017.

Vinicius Jr. hasn’t ruled out a potential move to Saudi Arabia
Despite repeatedly conveying that he wants to stay at Real Madrid, the report states that Vinicius has not completely ruled out a future move to Saudi Arabia. The report further states that Vinicius has been seen as an ideal signing for Al-Ahli. The reigning Asian Champions League winners are seen by both the Saudi Ministry of Sport and the Public Investment Fund (PIF) as next in line for a superstar signing.
The longer Vinicius’ contract negotiations drag on, the more hopeful Saudi officials become. A major offer can be put in front of Real Madrid this summer for the player. Even if Vinicius extends, Saudi is expected to remain in the picture and will persist with their objective of bringing the player to the Saudi Pro League in the near future.
