According to Ben Jacobs, Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli are prepared to fork out a whopping €350 million (£296m/$365m) on Madrid forward Vinicius Junior this summer. Along with they are already having star players like Ivan Toney, Roberto Firmino, and Riyad Mahrez among their attacking options, the Jeddah-based team feel there is room for another extra elite football star.
About Vinicius Junior aka Vini Jr.:
Vinícius Júnior or Vini Jr., is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for La Liga club Real Madrid and the Brazil national team. Considered one of the best players in the world, he is known for his pace, technique, physical strength and dribbling ability.
Vinci started his career from Flamingo Club and become a remarkable contribution during the year 2017 and 2018 and later on he moved to real Madrid from 2018-19 and in his current carer as of today in 365 Match Appearances he have scored 118 Goals.
According to a recent revelation by well-known football presenter Ben Jacobs, Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli are prepared to fork out a whopping €350 million (£296m/$365m) on Madrid forward Vinicius this summer.
Despite they are already having star players like Ivan Toney, Roberto Firmino, and Riyad Mahrez among their attacking options, the Jeddah-based team feel there is room for ‘one extra elite star’
Recently Jacobs revealed in his interaction with GIVEMESPORT about this rumor, that “The answer is yes, very much so. He is a concrete target. Number one, Vini Jr has a one billion euros release clause, and obviously the Saudis are not going to look to trigger that. Nothing is going to be possible in January. “And even though Al-Ahli have got some incredible players, including Ivan Toney, Bobby Firmino, Riyad Mahrez, the feeling is that there is room for that one extra elite star.
So talks have taken place on the player side already with Al-Ahli in mind, and Saudi may be looking to try something pretty audacious in the summer. “It’s obviously going to be very difficult to pull off in 2025 but here’s what I’m told – a bit like a world record offer for Kylian Mbappe when he was still at PSG, that was turned away. Saudi are prepared to pay not that 1 billion euros release clause, but 350 million euros. “That is the number they are thinking of to try and make Real Madrid go ‘hold on a minute. Is that just too good to turn down?’ There’s not yes yet from the player but watch this space. Al-Ahli Vini Jr, summer 2025, 350 million euros.”
Star player Neymar’s move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 remains the world’s most expensive transfer at £200m ($246.5m). Al-Hilal reportedly bid £259m ($333m) for Kylian Mbappe when he was at PSG in 2023 but now Al-Ahli seem intent on flexing their financial muscle even more on Vinicius. It seems unlikely the 24-year-old is unlikely to move to the Middle East in 2025, however.
With the rumors of Transfer speculation aside, Vinicius Jr’s Madrid team host Red Bull Salzburg on Wednesday night in the Champions League, and Vinicius will hope to star.
