Saudi Arabia's investments in football are far from over. With increasing interest in making impactful hires, the target of the moment is none other than Vinicius Júnior, Flamengo's creation and one of the main active players in world football. And the idea is to make Vini much more than a football player.
According to information from the GE portal, the proposal to play for Al-Ahly is a salary of 1 billion euros (R$6 billion) for five years of contract. Furthermore, Saudi interest is for Vinicius Jr to be one of the ambassadors for the 2034 World Cup to be held in Saudi Arabia. The player would still have the opportunity to play a role in football after his retirement.
The offer represents an increase of 13 times in relation to what Vinicius Jr earns today at Real Madrid. Last season, his contract was renewed until the middle of 2027 and he received a raise that put him at the level of one of the highest salaries at the merengue club. The projection is that Vini will receive 45 million (R$271 million) by the end of his current contract. As a comparison, the amount received for the same time in Saudi Arabia would be 600 million euros (R$3.6 billion).
The player's staff would have been swayed by the proposal, seen as an opportunity to resolve the issue. his life and that of his family for several generations. Vinicius Jr is still very interested in expanding his institute which, according to the official website, aims to support public schools in the construction of new teaching-learning models, using technology as a tool and sport as a language.
Real Madrid, however, remains adamant in not negotiating the player and is only in the position to release him in case of full payment of the termination fine of 1 billion euros (R$6 billion). The Arabs, however, understand that there is room for negotiation. A possible obstacle to the Saudi plans is the player's desire to win the Ballon d'Or.
No player playing outside of Europe has ever won the award and, despite the voting only considering the season Last time, the understanding of Vinicius Júnior's staff is that due to the great season with Real Madrid where he won the Spanish Championship and the Champions League and no player standing out in the Euros, Vini's votes could decrease if he chose to leave European football.
Since arriving at Real Madrid from Flamengo, Vinicius Junior has played 264 games, scored 84 goals and provided 59 assists. During this period, he won two Club World Cups, two Champions Leagues, three La Ligas, one Copa del Rey, three Spanish Super Cups and one European Super Cup.
