Vinícius Júnior Transfer from Real Madrid to Al Nassr
The Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia is reportedly preparing a 'mega offer' to acquire Vinicius Jr. from Real Madrid. Sources suggest that the offer is expected to exceed 300 million euros in an attempt to persuade the Spanish giant, potentially surpassing the transfer record currently held by Paris Saint-Germain for Neymar. Furthermore, it is reported that Vinicius Jr. would be offered a record salary of 200 million euros per year for five seasons, amounting to a total of 1 billion euros over the contract period. Despite this, there have been no new contacts established with Vinicius Jr., who is said to be content in Madrid and wishes to remain there. Real Madrid has indicated that they would only release the player if his 1 billion euro release clause is met.
The Saudi Pro League is interested in Vinicius Junior and has mentioned Al-Nassr as one of the potential clubs to acquire him. The offer made to Vinicius is reportedly 20 times his current salary. The transfer would allow Real Madrid to refresh their squad and add to their treasury, but Vinicius would lose the opportunity to aim for the Ballon d'Or and prestigious European competitions like the Champions League.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Saudi Arabia is strongly pursuing Vinicius. The country is willing to pay 350 million to acquire the Brazilian. Al-Nassr has also expressed interest.
The CEO of the Saudi Pro League, Omar Mugharbel, indicated interest in bringing Vinicius Jr. to Saudi Arabia. He noted that top Saudi clubs such as Al Nassr possess the necessary infrastructure and power to attract a player of Vinicius Jr.'s caliber. There had been a previous inquiry by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, but negotiations did not advance. Vinicius Jr. has a release clause of 1 billion euros with Real Madrid, and there were initial salary proposals of up to 350 million euros annually.
Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), the majority owner of Al-Hilal, Al Nassr, and Al-Ahli, has offered a five-year contract worth around 200 million euros per season, plus bonuses. The package also includes a separate 10-year contract to be an ambassador for the 2034 World Cup in Saudi Arabia. Although the official offer is yet to be presented, Vinicius has not dismissed the move and has given PIF permission to approach Real Madrid.
Vinicius Junior is understood to be considering a lucrative proposal from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, who own 75 per cent of Al Ahli, Al Ittihad, Al Hilal and Al Nassr, have discussed the transfer with Real Madrid, but the Spanish giants do not want him to leave. Real would also demand his £850m release clause. A formal offer has not yet been submitted, but Vinicius is yet to dismiss the idea.
