“Vinicius Junior Rejects Saudi Arabia’s Lucrative Offer, Committed to Real Madrid”

Real Madrid are loaded with forwards this summer following the arrivals of Endrick Felipe and Kylian Mbappe, making it challenging for other clubs to pry away any of their talents. Rodrygo Goes, for instance, has reportedly rebuffed all advances, and Vinicius Junior appears to be doing the same.

Premier League clubs are aware that Rodrygo could eventually find himself out of the starting lineup, but that doesn’t seem to be the case for Vinicius. According to The Athletic, Saudi Arabia made a ‘lucrative offer’ to Vinicius this summer, aiming to position him as the face of Saudi football ahead of the 2034 World Cup. However, the Brazilian quickly declined the offer, content with his life in Madrid, where he has three years left on his contract. Despite this, Saudi Arabia is expected to make another attempt to lure him.

If they were to secure Vinicius, it would require a hefty sum – the 24-year-old is a Ballon d’Or contender and currently thriving at the highest level. It seems unlikely anyone will be able to persuade Vinicius to leave Real Madrid unless his situation at the Santiago Bernabeu takes a turn for the worse.
