Vinicius Jr. targeted by Saudi market: shocking offer prepared for Real Madrid
Saudi Arabia has set its sights on Vinicius Jr.
As reported by As, the Real Madrid and Brazilian star is the latest name to catch the imagination of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund.
Sources close to the deal suggest that an eye-watering offer is being prepared, which could prove difficult for the Spanish giants to turn down.
“Vinicius is a player we admire greatly, and we believe he could become a cornerstone in our growing football ambitions,” a Saudi official said, as quoted by As.
The offer in question is speculated to be in the realm of astronomical figures, making it one of the most significant moves in football transfer history.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, have yet to comment officially on the potential deal. However, insiders at the club suggest that the “Casa Blanca” is taking a measured approach.
“We are aware of the interest and the purported offer, but no decision has been made,” an unnamed source within Real Madrid told As.
Vinicius Jr. has been an integral part of Real Madrid’s squad, bringing dynamism and flair since his arrival at the Bernabeu.
His departure would undoubtedly leave a void, but the financial implications of the proposed transfer cannot be ignored.
The coming weeks are likely to see intense negotiations as Saudi Arabia seeks to bolster its footballing profile with one of the game’s most promising talents.
