The last few months have been quite complicated for Vinicius Jr. The loss of the 2024 Ballon d'Or, to the benefit of Rodri, and the nervousness he sometimes displays on the pitch have spoiled the first half of the season for the Brazilian striker ( 24 years old). Which must also deal with the spectacular return to form of Kylian Mbappé.
While his French teammate remains on a good series of 8 goals and 2 assists in 10 matches, the Auriverde international has only signed 3 goals and as many assists over this period. Could this slight slack be due to the transfer rumors circulating about him, sending him in particular to Saudi Arabia?
Real Madrid set price for Vinicius
This hypothesis cannot be ruled out as the Saudi Pro League is courting him. According to ESPN, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) would continue to discuss with his entourage and Al-Hilal, who will undoubtedly lose Neymar Jr. by this summer, would make “Vini” his priority to succeed him.
“Vinicius?” It’s not a dream, we’re working on it”would have even confided the president of the SPL to José Félix Diaz, a journalist from Marca.
If the merengue star's clan remains attentive, the White House has until now always refused to negotiate the departure of its player, under contract until 2027. But according to Josep Pedrerol, the famous presenter ofEl Chiringuitoclose to Florentino Pérez, the Madrid club would finally be ready to consider this scenario. On one condition however: “a billion euros or nothing”or the amount of his release clause.
