Real Madrid has responded decisively to the interest from the Saudí Pro League in acquiring the services of Vinícius Jr. The club's board under Florentino Pérez has pointed out that the Brazilian's release clause amounts to 1000 million euros, a figure that reflects both the player's importance to the sporting project and the clear intention of not parting ways with him in the short term, as reported by Defensa Central.

Vinícius Jr and his market value

The 24-year-old forward, whose contract runs until 2027, is one of the most influential players in the Real Madrid squad. In the last season, he participated in 42 official matches, scoring 24 goals and providing 12 assists, making him one of the most decisive players in Europe.

Nevertheless, his prominence has been marked by ups and downs in recent months. Injuries and the arrival of Kylian Mbappé have reshaped the hierarchies in the locker room, although the club insists that the Brazilian remains a key piece.

Saudi Arabia and the 1000 million clause

The Saudi league has entered the market with multimillion-dollar signings, bringing in stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Benzema. However, sources from Valdebebas believe that only a club backed by petrodollars could attempt to pay such an exorbitant amount as indicated by Vinícius Jr's clause.

"Vinícius is worth what his contract says," internal sources from the club affirm, making it clear that there is no intention to negotiate a reduction.

Coach Xabi Alonso has called for calm around the player. "This is a marathon until May. Everyone needs time," he expressed in a press conference, emphasizing that the player is going through an adaptation process following the coaching changes. The coach highlighted that he sees the Brazilian with a positive attitude and mentality to regain his best form.

Vinícius Jr facing internal challenges

In this new phase, the only untouchable player seems to be Mbappé. For Vinícius, the challenge is to demonstrate with goals and assists that he remains indispensable. With just five matchdays played in the League, the Brazilian has scored two goals and provided an assist, but the club's analysis suggests that his peak performance will come in the decisive months.

Real Madrid plans to soon initiate a new round of negotiations to enhance the player's contract, reinforcing his status within the squad. Both the club and the player's entourage have shown willingness to stay united, ruling out any immediate transfer.

For now, the stance is firm: Vinícius Jr is not for sale, and his 1000 million euros clause is the clearest message to Saudi Arabia and any other suitor.
