€1 billion or no deal – Real Madrid sets price tag on star forward Vinicius Jr amid Saudi interest

Spanish giants Real Madrid have reportedly placed a staggering €1 billion price tag on Brazilian forward Vinicius Jr, amid growing interest from Saudi Pro League clubs.

The club has made it clear that any Saudi teams interested in signing Vinicius must negotiate directly with Real Madrid rather than approaching the player’s entourage.

Reports indicate that Saudi clubs have been in contact with the Brazilian’s representatives since last summer, but at the time, the player showed no willingness to engage in talks.

Saudi Pro League CEO Omar Mugharbel recently confirmed the league’s interest in Vinicius Jr, with Al Hilal particularly keen on securing the 24-year-old’s services.

Vinicius Jr remains under contract with Real Madrid until 2027, with a release clause set at precisely €1 billion.

Despite potential bids ranging from €250-300 million, Real Madrid officials are adamant about rejecting any offers below the release clause, reaffirming their commitment to keeping the talented forward at the Santiago Bernabéu.
