Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli reportedly offers Vinicius Junior €1 billion to leave Real Madrid, 13 times his current salary. The five-year deal includes the option to decide his stay duration, marking a potential record-breaking transfer. Real Madrid could demand a €1 billion fee.
Brazilian star Vinicius Junior has reportedly been offered a staggering €1 billion to move to Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli from Real Madrid. According to ge.globo.com, this deal would see Vinicius earn 13 times his current salary at the Bernabeu, marking a monumental shift in football’s financial landscape. The 24-year-old forward, who has been with Madrid since 2018, has scored 83 goals in 264 appearances and secured 12 trophies, including two UEFA Champions League titles.
The offer, presented by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, would span over five years and grant Vinicius the option to choose whether he remains in Saudi Arabia for the full term of the contract. This proposal comes amid Cristiano Ronaldo's record-setting salary at Al Nassr, also owned by the PIF, which is around €200 million per year.
Real Madrid would reportedly demand a transfer fee of €1 billion, potentially doubling the overall financial commitment, surpassing Neymar’s €222 million transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017. Vinicius’ current contract with Madrid runs for another three years, necessitating negotiations between the clubs for any potential transfer.
