Saudis can't be appeased. Al-Hilal wants to replace Neymar with Vinicius

Al-Hilal is actively seeking to sign Vinícius Júnior, despite his rising market value, which, according to Transfermarkt, now sees him sharing the top spot with Erling Haaland.

Details: According to Marca, the reigning Saudi Arabian champions are showing serious interest in the Real Madrid player. The Saudis are attempting to find a loophole in Vinícius' contract to bring him to their team. It is reported that the Brazilian is being eyed as a replacement for his compatriot Neymar, whose contract expires next summer.

Additionally: Real Madrid remains calm for now, as Vinícius' contract includes a release clause of €1 billion. The contract between Real and the player runs until the summer of 2027, so there is no immediate cause for concern for the "Merengues."

This season, Vinícius has played 11 matches for Real Madrid, scoring four goals and providing as many assists.
