Khaberni - Media reports revealed that the Saudi Al-Ahli club is preparing to make a huge offer to sign the Brazilian star Vinicius Junior next summer.
The talkSPORT newspaper reported that the offer includes a salary exceeding what Cristiano Ronaldo earns at Al-Nassr, which amounts to about 200 million euros annually, making the young Real Madrid winger the highest paid in the world if he moves to Saudi Al-Ahli.
It was explained that "Vinicius Junior is one of the main pillars of Real Madrid since his name emerged in recent years, having developed significantly under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti and becoming one of the prominent attacking faces of the royal team, especially after the departure of Karim Benzema in the summer of 2023, taking on the forward line alongside Rodrigo and Bellingham".
It was added, "The Brazilian player's name has repeatedly been linked to future projects of the club as one of the anticipated leaders, but the relationship between the two parties has not been without tensions at some stages."
It continued, "Last year, there were reports of negotiations to extend his contract and improve his salary to match his status as a key player in the team, but sources close to the matter indicated that Real Madrid had not closed the door to the possibility of selling him if a long-term renewal agreement could not be reached. In addition, Vinicius faces criticism from time to time due to his playing style or emotions on the field, which has put him under pressure, whether from fans or the media."
It increased, "Vinicius' departure to Saudi Arabia, if realized, would be a big blow to Real Madrid both sportingly and marketing-wise, especially since the player is still in the middle of his career at 25 years old, and is seen as one of the major future stars. On the other hand, his move to Al-Ahli would give the Saudi league another quality addition after a series of major signings with European stars, and would enhance the image of the kingdom as a prime destination for global football stars."
It was completed, "So far, the final stance of Real Madrid on the offer has not been clarified, but what is certain is that Vinicius' future has become a topic of internal discussion in the club, amid unprecedented financial temptations coming from Saudi Arabia."
