"The PIF delegation has arrived in Madrid, they are trying to set up official negotiations with Real Madrid. Here, the partner from Saudi Arabia will make an offer to transfer striker Vinicius to Al Ahli Club with a fee that breaks the record of Neymar's transfer to PSG in 2017 (222 million euros)", AS said.

"PIF aims to significantly boost the Saudi Pro League by recruiting Vinicius, who will also be the face of the 2034 World Cup hosted by Saudi Arabia.

The ambition of PIF, the organization that owns the majority of shares in the top clubs in Saudi Arabia, specifically recruited Neymar for Al Hilal Club, Benzema at Al Ittihad and Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr. Now they want to add Vinicius to Al Ahli, which already has famous players such as Roberto Firmino and Ibanez (Brazil), along with Riyad Mahrez and goalkeeper Edouard Mendy," AS emphasized.

Vinicius still has a contract with Real Madrid until June 2027 and the contract termination clause is up to 1 billion euros. However, if PIF offers a transfer fee of 200 million euros or more and breaks the record of Neymar's transfer in 2017, it is entirely possible to convince Real Madrid to agree. Vinicius himself may change his mind after receiving a personal offer including a 5-year contract worth a total of 1 billion euros including salary and bonuses, according to O Globo (Brazil).

"Vinicius is waiting for a move from Real Madrid. The player himself is keeping all possibilities open, because it is difficult to refuse such a huge offer. In fact, the matter related to the possibility of Vinicius or Rodrygo leaving Real Madrid this summer has been stirring since the deal of Kylian Mbappe joining the Spanish Royal team, and young striker Endrick also officially arrived at the team. All decisions now will depend on the opinion of President Florentino Perez, in case he receives an official offer from PIF in the near future," AS revealed.

Real Madrid will play the European Super Cup against Atalanta (Italy) in Warsaw, Poland at 2:00 a.m. on August 15. They will then enter the 2024-2025 La Liga season with the opening match against Mallorca at 2:30 a.m. on August 19.

This phase of the summer transfer window in La Liga continues until the deadline of August 31. Therefore, the possibility of a "blockbuster" deal for Real Madrid to send Vinicius to Saudi Arabia is entirely possible, similar to the case of striker Benzema to Al Ittihad in June 2023.
