Saudi clubs are striving to continue strengthening their squads with more stars from European football, prompting them to target one of the best players in the world. According to "The Athletic," Vinicius Junior, the Real Madrid star, has become a focus for those behind the Saudi project recently.
It reported that the Saudi side made a massive offer to the Brazilian international to persuade him to join the Roshan League. It was explained that a delegation from the Public Investment Fund, acting on behalf of the Ministry of Sports, had contacted the representatives of the Samba star in an attempt to convince him to be the face of the Saudi league ahead of the 2034 World Cup. This development follows Saudi Arabia's official bid to host the 2034 World Cup.
However, Vinicius declined the offer, as he has no plans to leave Real Madrid, a desire that he shares with the Spanish club, with which he has a contract until the summer of 2027, including a release clause worth one billion euros. Despite Vinicius's refusal, "The Athletic" confirmed that Saudi Arabia will attempt to sign Vinicius Junior in the future.
