Transfer Market: Saudi Arabia prepares salary of one billion euros for Vini Jr.
Saudi League is also willing to make the Brazilian the most expensive player ever
Vinícius Júnior said it was not the first time, but the Saudi League is not giving up on his signing, something that it will try to do again next summer. According to Diario As , the Saudi Public Investment Fund (FIP), which owns Al Hilal , Al Nassr , Al Ittihad , Al Ahli and Al Qadisiyah, will have no problem in making a very attractive offer to Real Madrid for its superstar.
A €300 million offer is reportedly being considered for the transfer of Vinícius Júnior. The Brazilian has a release clause of one billion euros, but given the astronomical amount involved, the FIP believes that this will be enough to convince the Whites to let go of Vinícius. If confirmed, the forward would become the most expensive player ever, surpassing the €222 million that PSG spent on signing Neymar from Barcelona in 2017.
After convincing Real Madrid, the Saudi League hopes to do the same with the player, so they are preparing a five-year contract, with an annual salary of 200 million euros – roughly 10 times more than what he currently earns at Real, also claims As . This means that, at the end of the contract, Vinícius would have earned one billion euros.
This could be the key to the deal, because, according to the same source, if Vinícius asks Real to listen to Saudi Arabia’s offer, the club will negotiate the best possible deal with FIP.
At the moment, it is still uncertain which of the clubs owned by FIP would go on to have Vinícius, but Jorge Jesus’ Al Hilal is seen as a viable option, not only because it is the country’s greatest champion, but also because it is looking for a new superstar for the squad, after the confirmation of the termination of Neymar’s contract.
