The Brazilian international was regularly mentioned for a transfer to the Middle East, despite the confidence of Real Madrid as to a contract extension. Its importance for the Merengues is undeniable and it will remain essential under Xabi Alonso, but the exorbitant sums proposed could force him to review his decision.
Its current contract with the club of the Spanish capital runs until 2027, and Real Madrid tried to extend it until 2030, but no concrete advance was carried out at this stage.
All the clubs are on alert to allow players to advance in the last 12 to 18 months of their contract, and this will be at the heart of the concerns in Madrid.

This would open up new perspectives in terms of transfers and give Real Madrid enough to think about the continuation of events.
There is no immediate interest in listening to offers, Alonso having already received a colossal transfer budget, and an agreement for Dean Huijsen is now concluded.
The Saudi clubs supported by the PIF will return with a new proposal in June and Real Madrid will feel more than ever for its number 7.
