Real Madrid are reportedly open to selling Vinicius Junior this summer, with clubs from the Saudi Pro League, including Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr, prepared to table a record-breaking offer of €300 million for the Brazilian star.
According to The Transfers Podcast, the relationship between Vinicius Jr and the Spanish giants has been strained, with ongoing contract renewal talks stalling and growing frustration from the club’s hierarchy, including president Florentino Perez.

World-record fee could spark new Galactico era
Despite being one of Real Madrid’s standout stars, a €300 million deal—which would shatter the world transfer record—could be too lucrative for the club to reject.
Real Madrid board reportedly believes that a financial injection of this magnitude could help fund a new generation of Galacticos, with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland among their top targets.
Saudi clubs offering Ronaldo-level salary
Saudi clubs are reportedly ready to offer Vinicius a contract on par with Cristiano Ronaldo’s, who currently earns a staggering salary at Al-Nassr. However, it remains unclear whether the 23-year-old Brazilian is open to a move to the Middle East.
Concerns over attitude and commitment
Reports from earlier this year suggest that Vinicius’ work ethic and focus have become a point of contention within the club.
“Vinicius Junior’s lack of dedication and focus on what really matters—namely football—is starting to take its toll,” one source claimed.
“Real Madrid have now reached a point where they are willing to sell one of their biggest names if it secures the club’s long-term future.”
With the summer transfer window approaching, all eyes will be on whether Vinicius chooses to stay at the Bernabéu or cash in on one of football’s most sensational moves.
