Saudi Arabia continues to be a highly attractive destination for footballers, with offers coming in that seem out of this world. The country recently succeeded in signing Cristiano Ronaldo, raising the big question: can they reach an agreement with a player in his "prime"? They’ve reportedly made a massive offer to Vinícius Jr.

According to various reports, including those from ESPN and Reuters, the Brazilian received an offer worth over one billion dollars to play in Saudi Arabia. The contract is said to span five years with a salary of approximately $218 million per season, plus bonuses—a truly staggering amount.

The big question is whether Florentino Pérez is willing to let go of one of his best assets, a player considered the present and future of the club. Who could pass up a sale of this magnitude?

"I love being here (Spain). I love playing for Real Madrid and having the best conditions to live with my family," said Vinícius Jr. in an interview with CNN, where he also discussed the potential change of venue for the 2030 World Cup. It’s no secret that in the world of sports, Real Madrid is the best option, and this is one of the reasons the Brazilian isn’t considering leaving, choosing to stay with what many consider the best club in the world.

What would Real Madrid receive?

Although the club hasn’t received a formal offer for Vinícius Jr., who is under contract until June 2027, the Saudi Public Investment Fund might be willing to pay just over $500 million to sign the Brazilian. This would be a record-breaking amount, surpassing the most expensive transfer to date: Neymar’s move to Paris Saint-Germain for $243 million in 2017.
