The Saudi Pro League management is determined to lure Vinícius amid ongoing issues with the Brazilian's new contract at Real Madrid. It's worth noting that Vinícius himself did not take part in the talks, but he did give his agents permission to negotiate on his behalf.
The Saudi Arabian Sports Committee views the acquisition of Vinícius as a top priority for attracting fans and boosting the international profile of the Saudi Pro League.
The source also claims that senior officials from the Saudi Ministry of Sports are personally involved in the negotiations.
However, for now, Vinícius remains a Real Madrid player, and the Galácticos' president, Florentino Pérez, has made it clear he will do everything possible to secure a new long-term deal with the Brazilian winger.
The current contract between Real Madrid and Vinícius runs until 2027, and his market value is estimated at €150 million by Transfermarkt.
