Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid are reportedly preparing for a monumental offer from the Saudi Pro League aiming to acquire their star winger, Vinicius Junior.
The proposed bid is expected to surpass the current world-record transfer fee of £200 million, set by Paris Saint-Germain for Neymar in 2017.
Discussions are underway for a potential move during the upcoming transfer window, coinciding with Vinicius Junior’s contract entering its final two years at the Santiago Bernabéu.
According to The Telegraph, the initial offer for the 24-year-old Brazilian sensation is projected at £200 million, supplemented by various add-ons that would elevate the total to a record-breaking sum.
While Real Madrid are keen to retain Vinicius Junior, such an extraordinary financial proposition may be difficult to decline, even for a player of his exceptional caliber.
Vinicius Junior’s potential move is speculated to be driven by a desire to augment his trophy collection.
Reports suggest that Al-Hilal, the most decorated club in the Saudi Pro League and a qualifier for the upcoming Club World Cup in the United States, is the likely destination.
The Saudi league has been actively enhancing its profile, and securing a talent like Vinicius Junior would significantly bolster its global appeal, especially following Neymar’s departure this season.
