There are reports suggesting that Al-Ahli has expressed interest in securing the services of winger Vinícius Júnior from Real Madrid, according to Sport España.
The Brazilian player’s contract with the Spanish giants is set to conclude next summer, leading to speculations about potential moves in the upcoming transfer window. Al-Ahli is purportedly willing to offer Vinícius an annual salary of 200 million euros in a bid to lure him to the Saudi team.
Despite the lucrative proposal from Al-Ahli, it is emphasized that the likelihood of this transfer is slim. This is primarily attributed to Vinícius’s inclination to extend his existing agreement with Real Madrid. Sources indicate that an official announcement regarding the player’s contract extension may be imminent, casting doubt on the feasibility of the proposed move to Al-Ahli.
Real Madrid had officially announced a deal with Flamengo in May 2017 for the future transfer of Vinícius Júnior, with the transfer slated for July 2018. The agreed transfer fee amounted to 45 million euros, signifying the high expectations placed on the young Brazilian talent.
As per the contractual terms, Real Madrid exclusively held Vinícius’s rights from the summer of 2018, coinciding with his 18th birthday. The player made his debut for the “Galácticos” on September 29, entering as a substitute in the match against Atlético Madrid, which ended in a 0-0 draw.
In the ongoing season, Vinícius has showcased his skills, contributing three goals and providing one assist in eight matches. This performance underscores his growing impact on the Real Madrid squad and suggests a promising trajectory for the young winger.
The interest from Al-Ahli, backed by a substantial financial offer, reflects the recognition of Vinícius’s talent on the global stage. However, the strong indication that the player is inclined to prolong his stay at Real Madrid implies a commitment to the club where he has been honing his skills since joining the senior team.
The intricacies of contract negotiations and potential extensions will likely unfold in the coming weeks, shedding light on Vinícius Júnior’s future and the dynamics of transfer activities in the football realm.
