Real Madrid Star Tempted by Lucrative Saudi Deal as United Pushes for Premier League Move
Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. is weighing a staggering €1 billion offer from Saudi Arabia, aiming to make him both the highest-paid player in history and a central figure for the Saudi Pro League. According to Relevo, the offer includes a five-year contract worth €200 million per season, nearly 20 times his current salary at Real Madrid. Saudi Arabia’s long-term vision includes Vinicius Jr. as an ambassador for the 2034 World Cup, which the country recently secured hosting rights for.
However, Manchester United has emerged as a potential challenger. Although unable to match the Saudi league’s astronomical offer, United hopes to entice the 23-year-old Brazilian with the opportunity to compete in the Premier League, often touted as the world’s most competitive league. United’s pitch also taps into Vinicius’s reported disappointment over not winning the Ballon d’Or, an accolade he believes has been affected by Real Madrid’s internal politics.
Saudi Arabia’s ambitions for the Saudi Pro League began making waves during the 2023 transfer window, when European stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Karim Benzema made high-profile moves to the league. Though the 2024 transfer season was quieter, Saudi clubs plan another major push in 2025—and they hope Vinicius will be the next superstar addition.
For now, Saudi Arabia’s offer remains open, leaving the ball in Vinicius Jr.’s court as he considers whether to become the face of the Saudi Pro League or seek a fresh challenge in England’s Premier League.
