According to several Spanish media, Real Madrid are willing to let Vinicius Junior leave the club this summer if they receive a bid of 300 million euros and they land a deal with Cristiano Ronaldo for the Club World Cup.
Clubs from the Saudi Arabian professional league, especially Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr, are said to be ready to offer the Brazilian a contract on par with Cristiano Ronaldo’s.

The relationship between Vinicius and Real Madrid has not been as harmonious as hoped lately. Negotiations for a new contract have been difficult, and the club’s management, including president Florentino Pérez, is reportedly starting to lose patience with the South American.
Although Vinicius is one of Madrid’s absolute stars, a deal worth €300 million – which would break the world record for transfers – would be difficult for them to refuse.
Real Madrid believe that with an injection of 300 million euros, a new generation of “Galacticos” could be attracted to the Bernabéu. Los Blancos dream of names like Manchester City’s striker Erling Braut Haaland.
It remains to be seen whether Vinicius will be tempted by Saudi Arabia, but the wealthy clubs in the Gulf are ready to throw money at the Brazilian. He will be offered a contract on a par with Madrid legend Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al-Nassr.
Already in mid-March, it was reported that Vinicius is starting to be difficult to work with at Real Madrid, especially when it comes to work ethics.
“Vinicius Junior’s lack of dedication and focus on what really counts, namely football, is starting to take its toll,” the previous report claimed. “Real Madrid have therefore reached a point where they are willing to sell one of their biggest stars next summer if they can secure the future of the Spanish giants.”

The winger has scored 18 goals and provided 11 assists in 37 games this season. Vinicius’ current contract, which Real Madrid have tried to extend several times, runs until the summer of 2027.
