According to recent reports from MARCA, Saudi Arabia is expected to make another attempt to sign Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. in 2025.
Interestingly, the outlet mentions that Real Madrid, on their part, remain confident and calm about the situation, as the Brazilian star’s contract includes a massive €1 billion release clause.
Furthermore, the club is also relying on Vinicius’ strong sense of loyalty and commitment to the team.
Neymar would be key in a different way
Jose Felix Diaz has highlighted through the publication that Saudi Arabian clubs are still eyeing Vinicius, with particular interest from Al Hilal.
The club is home to Neymar, who has not fully lived up to the high expectations set during Saudi Arabia’s football revolution.
For what it is worth, the idea of bringing Vinicius to Saudi Arabia is part of a broader vision to boost the league’s global presence.
The speculation surrounding his future seems set to continue, with reports suggesting that Al Hilal could revisit the idea of signing him in 2025. Interestingly, if they find any possible contract loophole with Neymar, it could impact their decision-making process.
While there were rumours during the last transfer window about a possible move for Vinicius, Real Madrid successfully navigated the situation, and Vinicius has since stepped up as a key player for the club.
Despite the ongoing interest, bringing Vinicius to Saudi Arabia remains a distant dream for now. His focus for now lies with Real Madrid, especially with important matches on the horizon, as well as the upcoming Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris, France.
While Saudi Arabian clubs may persist in their pursuit, the Brazil international is firmly dedicated to the challenges ahead with Madrid, making it unlikely that he would leave anytime soon.
