The Vinicius Jurnior file always makes a big spain in Spain, and in Saudi Arabia. The sale of the Brazilian is not a taboo subject in Real Madrid but it will be necessary to put a price never seen: 1 billion euros, that is to say the amount of the Liberating clause of Brazilian in his current contract, which runs to 2027 . The management of the Saudi Pro League is of course interested and it does not even hide it, like the words recently made by Omar Mugharbel, the boss of the local championship in AS. “”We hope to have interesting recruits this summerHe had let go, before being more precise on the Vinicius case.

“We have different clubs at different levels, with different levels of maturity, as in all world championships. There are teams that can attract this type of player and others who still need to develop much more. And if I assess what we have today, our clubs have what it takes to attract, develop and feed such talent. So let's wait to see what's going on with him ”he said. It was the first time that a Saudi leader directly spoke of the future of the Madrid star.

Vinicius Future teammate of Mahrez?

Everything is still far from being acted but the discussions continue in both directions. Carlo Ancelotti also held his little statement yesterday at a press conference. The Italian was reassuring. “”What I know, direct information that I have is that Vinicius is very happy here. And that he wants to write the story here.Indeed, Real Madrid has not lost hope of prolonging it at all. After Readerthe club intends to chat with it in the coming months to negotiate its renewal and be linked until the next decade. Understand around 2030.

The fact remains that the Saudi perspective is enticing, as much for Vinicius Junior as for Real Madrid elsewhere. The proposal made to the attacker reaches 20 times the salary currently affected. Al-Ahli was even designated as the club that can welcome it (Veiga, Mahrez and Firmino already play there), in front of Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal. On the other hand, he would lose almost any ambition to one day win the Ballon d'Or and the prestigious European competitions such as the Champions League. For the Merengues, a sale of its star would allow the workforce to be renewed in depth, extend certain elements, and add a little cash in the boxes. It's time for choices.
