Tuesday, August 13, 2024 - Saudi Pro League are reportedly willing to pay Brazil star Vinicius Junior €1 BILLION to tempt him away from Real Madrid.
Vinicius has been a Madrid player for six seasons, since
joining from Flamengo in 2018.
The 24-year-old has scored 83 goals in 264 games
for Los Blancos and won 12 trophies, including two
UEFA Champions League crowns.
According to ge.globo.com, a proposal from Saudi
Arabia's Public Investment Fund for Vinicius to join Al-Ahli has been
verbally delivered to the player's representatives.
The offer is said to be worth €1bn over five years -
with the proposed annual salary 13 times higher than Vinicius is currently
earning at the Bernabeu.
It is also claimed that Vinicius would be given the freedom
to decide whether or not he wanted to stay in Saudi Arabia for the full
duration of his contract.
Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the highest-paid player
in Saudi Arabia - and world football with Al Nassr, who are also owned by the
PIF, paying him around €200m per year.
Vinicius is under contract with his current club for another
three years, so Al-Ahli would need to agree a deal with Madrid as well as with
the player. They would likely double the overall cost as the report claims that
Madrid will demand a transfer fee of €1bn.
The biggest transfer in world football to date
was Neymar's €222m move from Barcelona to Paris
Saint-Germain in 2017.
Neymar has since left PSG and now plays for Al-Hilal -
another club in the PIF's portfolio in Saudi Arabia.
