The Brazilian continues to steal the limelight, and Real Madrid are aware that offers for him will not stop coming.
Real Madrid are preparing for a busy summer when it comes to Vinicius Junior’s future. At the Santiago Bernabéu offices, they are aware that Saudi Arabia will return with a multi-million offer for the Brazilian winger, whose current contract runs until June 2027.
As revealed by DefensaCentral, the golf clubs could offer around 130 million euros, a sum that is hard to ignore in today’s market, although for now it seems that Real Madrid has no intention of selling.

Saudi Arabia is not giving up… Vinicius is the top priority
Madrid’s strategy is clear: they aim to ensure the continuity of the attacker until 2030 or even 2031. Nevertheless, the club refuses to break the established salary structure. The board fears that meeting the player’s financial demands could lead to other stars like Jude Bellingham following suit and demanding exorbitant salaries. Financial prudence remains a priority, despite the revenue generated in recent years.
For his part, Vinicius plays with time on his side. With each passing season, his bargaining power increases. At 25 years old, he still has room to grow and prove himself as one of the team’s most important offensive assets. The problem arises when his performance becomes inconsistent. In 2025, the attacker’s level raised doubts, although in recent weeks he seems to have found his way back to the spark that made him a key player in his victory in the Champions League and domestic titles.

However, the club stands firm. If Vinicius does not perform at his best, the contract renewal may even be lower than originally planned. Real Madrid are in a special balance: they greatly appreciate what the player has contributed since he arrived as just 18 years old, but they are also unwilling to jeopardize the financial stability of the institution for a single figure, no matter how crucial.
On the player’s side, there is no rush. With a valid contract for two more seasons, he is under no obligation to accept immediately. Still, the pressure can come from outside: the Saudi Arabian professional league has shown its ability to offer astronomical wages and conditions that surpass those in Europe. For the Saudis, having a media figure like Vinicius would be a coup on a global scale, both sportingly and commercially.
Saudi Arabia goes for Vinicius
Real Madrid trusts that, apart from the spell of Arab fortunes, the Brazilian will appreciate the prestige, projection and history offered by wearing the white jersey. Both ways seem to benefit the federation, even though the negotiations promise to be tough. What is certain is that Vinicius’ figure will once again attract attention in the coming months, with the summer transfer window as the backdrop for a possible new million-dollar fight.
All indications are that a new chapter will open next summer in the history between Vinicius Junior and Real Madrid. The threat of a €130 million offer from Saudi Arabia is approaching, but Florentino Perez and his board trust that the player will prefer to continue building his legend at the Bernabéu rather than succumb to petrodollars. The ball, as almost always, will be on the field and at the feet of the number 7.
