Real Madrid may have concluded their transfer window with the signings of Kylian Mbappé and Endrick, but theoretically, one mega-star could still leave the Santiago Bernabéu. This theory comes from a report by the reputable Spanish newspaper Marca, which seems almost unbelievable—at least in terms of the likelihood of it actually happening. The Saudi club Al Ahli has made a clear inquiry to the Royal Club, asking, “Under what conditions can Vinícius Júnior become ours?” The response from Valdebebas was cold and clear: “Vini has a release clause of one billion euros”.🚨 NEW: Real Madrid could offer Viní Jr. an IMPROVED contract – to avoid offers like the one from Saudi Arabia in the future. @marca pic.twitter.com/ti4bQy6fks— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) August 13, 2024 The likelihood of this astronomical clause—the largest potential transaction in sports history—being activated is minuscule, as confirmed by sources within Marca. However, Al Ahli is reportedly prepared to offer Real Madrid 200 million euros, which is 20 million more than the Brazilian’s market value as estimated by Transfermarkt. In the coming days, it is expected that representatives of the Saudi giant will formally present their offer to Florentino Pérez. What could be a turning point in a transfer that seems highly unlikely to happen is the financial windfall that awaits one of the main candidates for the Ballon d’Or in the Middle East. The offer is a five-year contract worth a staggering 1 billion! Compared to these astronomical terms, Vinícius Júnior’s current salary of 20 million gross seems like mere pocket money. Theoretically, if all three parties agree to the deal, the 24-year-old Vinícius would become the highest-paid footballer of all time.Money can’t buy me love: Vinicius Jr rejects lucrative Saudi offerAlthough the story is just beginning, sources close to the player believe that this giant project from the Arabian Peninsula must be carefully and thoroughly considered. It could also serve as a message to Real Madrid, urging the Spanish champions to loosen their purse strings and refresh the contract of one of their best players. Meanwhile, the Saudis are banking on dazzling the player and his representatives with mind-boggling numbers. After all, how else could you convince one of the world’s best footballers to leave the biggest European club and one of the top five leagues to go to a place not known for the quality of its football?Without hesitation, Mbappe refuses 700 million from the SaudisAs new contacts between Al Ahli and Real Madrid are awaited, along with possibly even more lucrative offers from the Saudis to the Blancos, it’s worth recalling that with the arrival of Kylian Mbappé in Madrid, Vinícius realistically lost his status as the team’s main star. Many are wondering whether the Brazilian and the Frenchman, who loves to attack from the left wing, will end up stifling each other. Perhaps Al Ahli’s offer is just the catalyst needed to show how much the former Flamengo talent really wants to conquer titles with the Madrid giants. Finally, let’s remember last July and the call from Arabia aimed at none other than Kylian Mbappé. Al Hilal, a year before Mbappé’s contract was set to expire, offered 300 million to Paris Saint-Germain, and reportedly 700 million to the French captain for just 12 months of cooperation—a deal that never materialized.##NAJAVA_MECA_8269599##
