Vinicius Jr rejects Real Madrid's contract offer amidst Saudi offer

According to reports, Vinicius Jr. rejected a new deal from Real Madrid, which has led to intense speculation regarding a possible transfer to Saudi Arabia. At Madrid, the 24-year-old Brazilian star presently makes an incredible 12.5 million euros annually, with a contract that expires in 2027 and a staggering 1 billion euros release clause. 

However, Saudi teams appear willing to spend a lot of money to claim him as their own. Vinicius' representatives and Saudi officials began having serious talks last summer, according to reports. Real Madrid moved swiftly to secure Vini with a long-term contract, meeting with his family and team several times. According to Los Blancos, they have no intention of selling Vinicius.

Many reports claim that Real Madrid will allow him to depart, only if Vinicius Jrmakes a particular request to the club. In response to the Saudi interest, Real Madrid attempted to initiate negotiations with him at the beginning of the season. However, Vinicius decided that he would like to explore a deal later on.

He has a contract that expires in 2027, so Real Madrid won't want to let him go past the summer without a new one; otherwise, time pressure would start to hurt them in talks. Real Madrid and Vinicius have met for the first time, according to Relevo, and Los Blancos have laid out the sums they are willing to negotiate. They are thought to be far from an agreement, and both parties set their boundaries. 

Although Real Madrid is anxious to keep Vinicius inside their pay range, he believes he should be paid more after improving as a player during his last contract. In addition to contract rumors, Vinicius will be hoping to guide his Madrid team to win in this weekend's La Liga matchup against Atletico Madrid, which is scheduled to take place at home.
