Spanish newspaper AS reports that the Saudi league’s mega-contract offensive on Vinicius will not end easily, as the Saudis see Vinicius as a long-term target and Vinicius will not rule out a possible transfer.
The Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, which is the majority shareholder of several Saudi league teams, sees this recruitment as a long race, and Real Madrid will be forced to negotiate a contract renewal with Vinicius at least until next summer. PIF wants to first understand the attitude of Real Madrid and the player, and may offer a huge offer that both Real Madrid and the player will consider in the future.
Vinicius’ agent, Pena, is negotiating with Real Madrid about the player’s contract, which expires in 2027. The agent believes that the player should be in control of his own destiny, and the best way to achieve this is to sign a shorter-term contract, allowing the player to achieve a significant pay increase through renewals, or the opportunity to join other clubs. Therefore, in 2025, Real Madrid may be forced to negotiate with Vinicius again, and at that time, the Saudis may offer the player the biggest sports contract in history.
AS points out that the reason why the Saudis chose to launch their offensive on Vinicius at this time is that Real Madrid has just signed Mbappe, and Bellingham stole the limelight last season. In short, logically, Vinicius is still happy at Real Madrid, but he will not “close the door to transfers without exploring, and with Real Madrid’s permission, he also wants to know what kind of contract conditions the Saudi league can offer him”.
Spanish media points out that the Saudi league has introduced too many stars in recent years, including Ronaldo, Benzema, Neymar, Mahrez, Firmino, Brozovic, Laporte… They have an ambitious plan without budget constraints. The signing of Vinicius would be “the icing on the cake”. Real Madrid must be careful, because “in the world of football, money can’t solve everything… but it can solve a lot.”
