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.

JORGINHO ALSO ON THE RADAR

The Brazilian national team is facing a crisis after the 4-1 defeat to Argentina in the last round of the World Cup qualifiers. The result culminated in the dismissal of coach Dorival Júnior, generating expectations about the new coach and intensifying the debate about the lack of a reliable number 9. So far, names like João Pedro , Igor Jesus and Matheus Cunha have not managed to establish themselves in the position. For Ronaldo Fenômeno , however, the solution may lie in Flamengo .
I like Pedro. Great center forward", Ronaldo
“I like Pedro. He’s a great center forward, with presence in the area , he protects the ball well , and shoots well with both feet . Pedro will definitely have an opportunity when he returns from his injury,” said Ronaldo Fenômeno on the program “ Galvão e Amigos ”, on Band, last Monday (31).
OTHER PROBLEMS IN SELECTION
In addition to the lack of a decisive number 9, Ronaldo Fenômeno pointed out other problems faced by the Brazilian National Team . The two-time world champion highlighted tactical issues and a lack of attitude as factors that prevent the team from playing convincing football.
“We have many other problems up front, as a team. Judging by the last few games I’ve seen from the national team , they’re also lacking courage and attitude in the game. The big challenge is to reconnect with the Brazilian national team shirt, to reconnect the people with the ‘yellow jersey’. Then it will improve a lot for everyone,” analyzed Ronaldo.
PETER'S SITUATION
The hope of Ronaldo and Flamengo fans, Pedro has already recovered clinically and is close to returning to the field. Rubro-Negro is working to count on the striker on April 9, against Central Córdoba (ARG), for the Libertadores, or on April 16 , against Juventude, for the Brasileirão. Both games will be played at Maracanã.
While Pedro improves his physical condition, Flamengo faces an intense sequence of matches . This Thursday (03), the team faces Deportivo Táchira (VEN), away from home, in the debut of the Libertadores. On Sunday (06), the challenge will be against Vitória , in Salvador, for the Brasileirão.
