Real Madrid has turned down a staggering €350 million offer from Saudi club Al Ahli for Vinicius Jr, surpassing Neymar’s transfer record.
Real Madrid has reportedly rejected a €350 million offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli for their star forward Vinicius Junior, according to Spanish outlet El Desmarque. The bid would have shattered the world transfer record, surpassing the €222 million fee Paris Saint-Germain paid to sign Neymar from Barcelona in 2017.
Saudi Arabia has been aggressively pursuing some of the world’s biggest football stars to elevate the profile of their rapidly growing league, and Vinicius is seen as a marquee target who could significantly enhance their global reputation.
Despite the astronomical offer, Real Madrid remains firm in their stance, rejecting the proposal and insisting that the Brazilian is a key part of their future plans. However, speculation about his potential departure continues, with reports suggesting that should Vinicius hesitate in renewing his contract—currently set to expire in 2027—the dynamics of negotiations could shift.
While Vinicius is currently focused on continuing his career at the Santiago Bernabéu, the financial lure of Saudi Arabia cannot be ignored. Reports claim he would be offered a staggering salary in the region of €200 million per season, matching the earnings of Cristiano Ronaldo, who made the switch to the Saudi Pro League.
