Vinicius on the Verge of the Saudi League... A Historic Deal Approaches Reality
Tuesday 14-10-2025
Spanish media reports indicate that Brazilian star Vinicius Junior may be on his way to leaving Real Madrid, as the club's management has shown willingness to consider offers for his sale for a staggering amount of 250 million euros, a move that could cause a seismic shift in the global transfer market.

Sky Sports reported that Al Ahli Saudi has entered direct negotiations with Real Madrid to acquire the player in a deal that could reach 345 million euros, equivalent to about 300 million pounds, making it the most expensive in football history, surpassing Neymar's famous deal in 2017.

It is said that Al Ahli has made Vinicius its top target during the upcoming summer transfer window, amid increasing interest from several Saudi clubs seeking to attract a star of his caliber to support the ambitious Saudi League project, which has been drawing major global names since the transfers of Ronaldo and Benzema.

The discussion about the future of the Brazilian player has resurfaced after Real Madrid refused to raise his salary to match that of Kylian Mbappe, the star who has captured the spotlight since arriving at Santiago Bernabeu. Despite Vinicius's impressive performance, scoring 5 goals and assisting 4 in 10 matches this season, he is no longer in the forefront of the team as he was in previous seasons.

Vinicius, who is 25 years old, is under contract until the summer of 2027, but Florentino Perez's management is considering selling him if both parties do not reach an agreement on an extension, especially with the club's desire to invest the massive financial return to strengthen coach Xabi Alonso's squad with young talents like Haaland or the gifted Dzeiri Doi from Paris Saint-Germain.

The president of the Saudi Professional League, Omar Maghrabi, confirmed that negotiations with Vinicius are "a matter of time," praising the steps taken by Saudi clubs towards global recognition. The sporting director of Al Ittihad, Ramon Planes, also stated that the player possesses the capabilities that qualify him to be one of the league's standout stars in the near future.

Amid these reports, Frenchman Kylian Mbappe stated in remarks to La Sexta that his relationship with Vinicius is very strong, saying: "I came to Real Madrid to play with him; I cannot imagine the club without him, and we are working together to deliver the best for the fans."

Thus, the possibility of Vinicius transferring to the Saudi League remains strong, with indications suggesting that the summer of 2026 may witness one of the largest deals in modern football history.
