Vinícius Juníor has attracted a lot of interest from Saudi Arabia recently as the Real Madrid star continues to shine at the highest stages of the game.


According to Ben Jacobs, Saudi Pro League giants Al-Ahli are targeting a historical move for the Real Madrid star. The Saudi giants are looking to sign Vini Jr. as their biggest signing ever, to match the major star signings of their rivals Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, who signed Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar Jr., respectively.

Being one of the best players in the world, the Brazilian star is a very sought after player. However, his importance and impact at Real Madrid make him an extremely difficult player to get, along with his extremely high valuation. 


According to Transfermarkt, Vini Jr. is currently the most valuable player in the world, with a staggering market value of €200 million. 


As per reports from World Soccer Talk, knowing his high valuation, Al-Ahli are set to offer a world-record fee, worth a whopping €350 million to Real Madrid for their star winger, which will surpass PSG’s €222 million record bid for Neymar back in 2017, when they signed him from Barcelona.

Reports of such an incredible offer for Vinícius Jr. had the Real Madrid fans quite worried. They feared that they might lose their star player in the upcoming summer. However, Vini Jr. has provided a major relief to the Madrid fans. 


After the 5-1 win against RB Salzburg on Wednesday, when asked about his future in the post-match interview, the Brazilian star replied by saying, “My future? Real Madrid,” signifying his love and loyalty towards the Los Blancos.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti has also provided words of comfort to the fans when asked about Vini’s situation. 


According to the Times of India, while speaking in the pre-match press conference of the Valladolid game, Ancelotti said, “From what I've heard, as someone who has direct information from the player, is that he is very happy here and wants to make history at Real Madrid.”


He further added, “You have to ask him; I don't know if this offer arrives or not. I can say what I see: a happy player, who is making history and who wants to continue like this.”
