Brazilian Winger Linked to Saudi Arabia Amid Stalled Talks and Record-Breaking Offers
Chelsea’s hopes of signing Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr this summer have been dismissed as “absolutely not realistic” by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, despite recent reports linking the Blues to a blockbuster move for the Brazilian winger. The 24-year-old, one of the most electrifying talents in world football, has been at the center of swirling speculation about his future, with contract talks at Real Madrid stalling and interest from Saudi Arabia reaching unprecedented levels.
Recent claims suggested Chelsea, long-time admirers of Vinicius, were preparing a mega offer to bring the winger to Stamford Bridge. Reports indicated that a move to London could appeal to the Brazilian, with Chelsea reportedly monitoring his situation ahead of the 2025-26 season. However, Romano has poured cold water on the idea, reiterating his stance from November that a transfer to Chelsea is highly unlikely.
Vinicius’ future at Real Madrid remains uncertain as negotiations over a new contract have hit a snag. With just over two years left on his current deal, the Brazilian is reportedly seeking to become the club’s highest earner, surpassing even Kylian Mbappe’s expected wages. If an agreement cannot be reached, Madrid may be forced to sell him in 2026 to avoid losing him on a free transfer the following year.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has emerged as a serious contender for Vinicius’ signature. The Saudi Pro League has made no secret of its ambition to lure the Brazilian to the Middle East, with reports of a staggering €1 billion contract offer on the table. The deal, which would span five years and earn Vinicius €200 million annually, is 20 times his current salary at Real Madrid. The Saudi Pro League’s CEO has expressed confidence that Vinicius will eventually make the move, stating, “It is not a question of dream, but a question of time and negotiation.”
The Saudi plan is to position Vinicius as the face of their league and a key ambassador for the 2034 World Cup, which the country is set to host. However, Real Madrid have made it clear they will only part ways with the winger if his €1 billion release clause is met—a figure that would cost Saudi clubs €2 billion in total due to associated taxes.
According to Marca, Madrid have no intention of letting Vinicius leave unless they are compelled to do so. For now, the Brazilian remains a vital part of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, but the ongoing contract standoff and astronomical offers from Saudi Arabia mean his future is far from settled. As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Vinicius Jr, whose next move could reshape the football landscape.
