For several months now, the rumor concerning a strong interest from the Saudi Pro League in Vinicius Jr has been recurring almost daily in the Spanish press. The Saudi championship would thus be ready to offer a golden bridge to the Brazilian, wishing to make him the face of the league. Obviously, it is potentially very interesting for the Real Madrid player on a financial level.
The player's intentions remain quite vague to this day. The Madrid media indicate that it is especially among the player's entourage that people are interested in this Saudi proposal, and that the Brazilian still wants to stay in Europe for a while. His release clause of one billion euros protects Real Madrid for the moment, since it seems unthinkable to see a club, even Saudi, aligning with it. But everything will also depend on the will of Vini Jr…
Vini sees himself in Madrid
After the big Merengue victory against Salzburg on Wednesday evening (5-1), to which he contributed with a double, the former Flamengo was questioned about his future by TNT Sports. “The next step is to always have clear ideas, to be able to improve my game, to continue to progress and help the biggest club in the world, because I dreamed of playing here and being able to play with great players in such a brilliant season. That's my dream now, to see things big and win more titles with this jersey.”replied the Brazilian.
Statements which should, temporarily at least, calm down a little all these rumors, which will however surely come back to the surface very quickly. With Vinicius Jr at this level, supported by a strong Rodrygo and a rediscovered Mbappé, Real Madrid can, as Vinicius said so well, see the big picture for this second part of the season and hope for a new Liga double -LDC.
