Real star ponders
Saudis lure Vinicius Junior with billion-euro fee
According to media reports, Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund (PIF) wants to lure Real star Vinicius Junior to the kingdom with a billion-euro salary. He does not seem to be averse to the idea.
The Brazilian is set to receive 200 million euros per season for a five-year contract at Al-Ahli, as the news agency Reuters reported on Monday, citing a source close to the player.
Vinicius Jr. is said to be considering the offer, but the Saudi authorities must first reach an agreement with Real.
Real rules out sale
The Madrilenians, who, like the PIF, declined to comment when asked, are said to have ruled out selling the 24-year-old striker. The exit clause for Vinicius is fixed at one billion euros.
Saudi Arabia apparently wants Brazil's striker as an ambassador for the 2034 World Cup, which is to be held in the kingdom. The state fund owns the majority shares of the four top teams Al-Hilal (Neymar), Al-Nassr (Cristiano Ronaldo), Al-Ittihad (Karim Benzema) and Al-Ahli.
