Set a world record! Reporter: Saudi Arabia is preparing to offer Real Madrid a price of 350 million euros to buy Vinicius!

July 18th According to talkSPORT reporter Ben Jacobs, Saudi Arabia is considering making a world record offer to Real Madrid, seeking Vinicius for 350 million euros!

reported that Vinicius has publicly expressed his desire to stay in the Bernabeu and is negotiating a new contract, but the contract has not been officially signed yet and the two sides have not reached a complete agreement.

It is reported that both Vinicius and Real Madrid have maintained a calm attitude, especially considering that the players' existing contracts will not expire until 2027. Saudi professional league officials thought in April that the 25-year-old star would complete a contract renewal before the summer window, but the situation of the delay in signing the new contract has rekindled their hopes.

The Saudi side's contact with Vinicius has lasted for more than a year, and the top leaders are always looking for the best opportunity to take action. They adopted a patient strategy but firmly hoped to sign the Brazil international within three years.

The slow progress in Real Madrid's contract renewal negotiations does not mean that there will be no agreement in the near future, but Saudi Arabia is ready to make a world-record offer of 350 million euros (about 302 million pounds), which will surpass the 200 million pounds paid by Paris Saint-Germain for Neymar in August 2017. The move stems from the previous lessons of the 300 million euro (£257 million) purchase of Mbappe in Riyadh.

Saudi Arabia also submitted a written non-binding offer to Vinicius: a five-year contract worth approximately 1 billion euros (864 million pounds), including various bonus terms.

Although the player publicly stated that he preferred to stay in the team, sources revealed that he still reserved the possibility for the Saudi league in his career. There are still variables in whether to transfer this summer. Although Saudi Arabia is not sure of success, it has made it clear that it will try with all its might. Vinicius was designated to join the Jeddah Nationals.

In the view of the Saudi Public Investment Fund and Sports Ministry, this new AFC Champions League champion deserves the next top superstar. Although both Mahrez and Ivan Tony are very popular, their reputation has not yet reached the level of Ronaldo (Victory of Riyadh), Benzema (United Jeddah) and Neymar (Riyadh Crescent, now loaned back to Santos) to join other clubs under the Saudi referendum fund. The longer the negotiations for Vinicius renewal are delayed, the more confident the Saudi side will be. There is still a possibility of selling sky-high contracts this summer. Even if the players expect to renew their contracts at the beginning of the year, Saudi Arabia will still actively operate to promote transfers at the latest in the 2027/28 season, and firmly believe that the transaction can be completed at its peak at present or in the future.
