Vinicius Jr is at the centre of transfer rumours. Saudi Arabia are ready to break the bank to buy the Brazilian star. With an astronomical offer on the table, Real Madrid are holding their breath. But the player has spoken out to clarify his future.
Saudi clubs will stop at nothing to attract top talent. Vinicius Jr is their latest target. The reported offers are staggering: €200 million per season for the player, and a cheque for €300 million for Real Madrid. An offer that would be hard to refuse, even for a club as powerful as the Spanish giants.
Cristiano Ronaldo, already based in Saudi Arabia, could be a key factor in the deal. Gulf investors are dreaming of a Brazilian-Portuguese duo to establish their media and sporting dominance. All of which is causing concern among Madrid fans.

Vinicius Jr publicly reassures Real Madrid
As speculation intensified, Vinicius Jr put an end to any doubts. Interviewed in the Amazon Prime documentary How I Won’t Love You, he reaffirmed his attachment to Real Madrid. ‘For me, writing the history of this club is essential. I hope to be able to continue here for many years to come,’ he declared. With these words, the Brazilian calmed the Saudi ardour and reassured Madrid’s socios. Real Madrid’s No7 wants to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessors and leave an indelible mark on the club’s history.
Vinicius Jr also makes no secret of his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo. ‘He’s an idol. He scored 451 goals for Real, more goals than games played. I’ve watched most of his goals, because I’ve been a fan of his since I was a kid,’ he confided. Today, he wears the number 7 shirt, a huge legacy. His objective is clear: to collect trophies and perpetuate the legend. His commitment to the Madrid club is unquestionable.

Rodrygo, another hot topic
Vinicius is not the only player attracting interest from Saudi Arabia. His compatriot Rodrygo is also being courted. On the rise, the Brazilian striker is shining in a white shirt and seems in no hurry to leave. He recently reaffirmed his desire to stay at Madrid. With a crucial Champions League clash against Manchester City looming, he wants to continue to make his mark on the club’s history. The Saudi interest does not seem to be moving him at the moment.
With these statements, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo seem to be closing the door on an imminent departure. Real Madrid can breathe easy. Its sporting project is largely based on these two talents, who are destined for a bright future under Carlo Ancelotti. While Saudi Arabia continue to knock on the door with lavish offers, the priority for the two Brazilians remains clear: to triumph in white and make history at the world’s greatest club.
