What if Vinícius Júnior gave in to the lure of Saudi Arabia? Difficult to say at the moment but the scenario remains more legitimate than ever. Arriving in July 2018 in the Spanish capital and now considered one of the greatest players on the football planet, the native of São Gonçalo continues to fuel a number of rumors, starting with the one leading to a transfer to the Gulf. This Thursday evening, Relevo also devotes a new article to the future of the former Flamengo player.
Author of 13 goals and 9 assists in 22 matches in all competitions since the start of the season, the Brazilian international (37 caps, 5 goals) is still followed very closely by the Saudis, as the Iberian media recalls. Linked to the Merengues until June 2027, the Auriverde winger has still not extended his contract with Madrid, despite discussions started in the summer of 2024. A situation that is all the more stressful considering recent desires displayed by the person concerned.
Saudi Arabia insists on Vini, Real threatened but calm
In fact, last August, Vini had considered a change of scenery before discarding the idea, considering that the time had not come to leave the Santiago Bernabéu. After narrowly failing to win the Ballon d’Or, could the 1m76 right-hander once again consider leaving? Nothing is less certain but Saudi Arabia has, in any case, every intention of playing its card to the fullest. With this in mind, Relevo recalls that contact with his entourage was recently established to let it be known that they are still waiting for him in 2025. If Al-Ahli is even already mentioned as the possible future club of Auriverde, tranquility is still present in the Valdebebas offices.
Although aware of the urgency and the dangerousness of the courtier, Real Madrid remains confident and intends to resolve this matter quickly, hoping that the player’s sporting ambition will prevail. Yes, but for its part, Saudi Arabia is also very confident in the idea of convincing the Brazilian, what’s more with a historic contract of 1 billion euros over five seasons. While waiting to learn more about this declared war and while the situation is, for the moment, at a standstill regarding a possible extension, Vinícius Júnior will try to qualify his team for the final of the Spanish Super Cup , which is currently being held in… Saudi Arabia.
