Transfer rumours across Spain claim that the PIF-backed league is considering continuing the hunt for the Brazilian to make him their next star signing in the country. Reports on how much Vinicius could earn at a Saudi Arabian club vary, but most agree that he could earn more than €1 billion.
However, to get to that point, he would have to decide to leave Los Blancos and Real Madrid would have to negotiate an exit deal for the 24-year-old and his €1 billion release clause. Real have rejected this early interest and the situation is expected to remain closed until next summer at the earliest.
Saudi Arabia? Vinicius makes a big decision
Despite rumours that the Saudi Pro League will not be deterred by Madrid’s initial refusal, transfer expert Matteo Moretto claims that any future offers will be turned down, as reported by Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing.
Moretto claimed that no ” concrete offer ” had not been made to Madrid for their star, and that the player would not be interested if that were the case, but the financial power of the Middle East means that future could change despite a general drop in spending over the past 12 months.
