Madrid, July 17, 2025 — Saudi Arabia are ready to launch a world-record €350 million offer to sign Vinícius Jr from Real Madrid this summer, according to journalist Ben Jacobs (@JacobsBen).
Despite the Brazilian winger expressing his desire to remain at the Santiago Bernabéu, sources say Saudi officials are feeling encouraged by the fact that Vinícius has not yet signed a contract extension with the club. This has opened the door — even slightly — for the possibility of one of the biggest transfer shocks in football history.
Saudi Pro League clubs, backed by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), are continuing their aggressive push to bring elite-level talent to the Middle East. A successful bid for Vinícius would not only shatter the current world transfer record but also represent a major milestone in their long-term football project.
Real Madrid remain confident in keeping the 24-year-old, who has been central to their domestic and European success. However, the lack of a signed contract extension has sparked growing speculation — and Saudi interest is now very real.
