Real Madrid: Arabia insists on 130 million for Vinicius

Real Madrid emerged victorious in their first visit of the season, a match that seemed complex due to the squad still adjusting to Xabi Alonso's footballing concept.

The triumph at the Carlos Tartiere stadium not only reaffirms the good start of the Basque coach but has also placed Vinicius Jr. in the spotlight, both for his initial substitute role and the impact he had when entering the field.

The Brazilian was the protagonist in just a few minutes: he provided an assist and scored a goal that sealed the match. After the game, Alonso expressed satisfaction with the winger's reaction, emphasizing his importance for what lies ahead. "We need everyone. Those who start and those who come in from the bench. There will be many matches for everyone," commented the Real Madrid coach.

However, the real news is not only in the sports aspect. As reported by 'DefensaCentral,' strong interest has emerged from Saudi Arabia to secure the services of Vinicius Jr., and according to sources close to the white club, an offer close to 130 million euros will be formalized in the coming hours. The Roshn Saudi League remains committed to adding major stars and sees the Madrid forward as a globally impactful signing.

Saudi Arabia Would Pay 130 Million Euros for Vinicius from Real Madrid

Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez, alongside José Ángel Sánchez, is aware that the squad is closed. The club's intention is clear: they do not consider parting with a player who was on the brink of the Ballon d'Or last season. However, such a high offer always sparks internal debates and generates buzz in the international press.

The situation is exacerbated because the market is still open in the Premier League and in Saudi Arabia, meaning that until the last day, rumors will unsettle the tranquility in the dressing room. The name of Rodrygo Goes also surfaces in the headlines, but at this moment, all the focus is on the '7' of the white team.

From Vinicius's circle, the feeling is that there is no intention to leave the Madrid project. His priority is to continue shining at the Santiago Bernabeu, become one of the team leaders, and, above all, maintain his path towards the 2026 World Cup in the best possible scenario.

Real Madrid is confident that the Brazilian's performance against Oviedo will mark the beginning of his best version. The club needs to regain the influential player he was in the 2023-24 season, where he was among the world's best and a key piece in winning titles.

Fans also hope that Vinicius finds continuity and consistency, essential elements to aspire to the next Champions League and La Liga. His renewal is on the table and, although not yet finalized, Florentino considers it a strategic move to shield the player against external threats.

The Saudi interest, however, reflects the player's global reach. In Saudi Arabia, they understand that his signing would not only be a sporting coup but also a media move that would increase the league's prestige. Their problem is that Real Madrid has no current intention of accepting such a colossal sum of money.

The Roshn Saudi League has already shown with recent signings that they are not afraid to invest million-dollar figures to attract top talent. However, Vinicius's case is different. At just 24 years old, the Brazilian is at the peak of his career, with much still to conquer in Europe. The club's message is clear: the squad is closed, and there will be no unexpected departures.

The standoff will continue in the coming days, but Real Madrid fans can breathe easy, at least for now. Alonso's project needs Vinicius at his best, and Florentino Pérez knows it. The real victory will be if the Brazilian regains his best form and guides Real Madrid to new titles, regardless of the lucrative temptations from the Middle East.
