Saudi Arabia wants to snatch Vinicius Jr, the Brazilian star and favourite to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or, from Real Madrid.
After bringing in several other stars to the Saudi Pro League in recent months, the Arabian Peninsula does not seem satisfied yet.
The presence of famous players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino, Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté has not yet satisfied the Saudi leaders.
The latter have the ambition to snatch Vincius Jr from Real Madrid and bring him to Saudi Arabia in the coming years.
This visit, if it materializes, will allow the country to present the Brazilian star as the standard-bearer for the organization of the World Cup by the country in 2034.
Since 2023, FIFA, through its president, Gianni Infantino, has made Saudi Arabia official as the country that will host the 2034 World Cup.
So, Saudi leaders are already planning ideas to successfully communicate about this event and Vinicius Jr is targeted to achieve this.
Although Real Madrid will not be willing to give up their player at the moment, the peninsula plans to offer an irrefutable contract to the player when his contract with the merengue club is almost exhausted.
Of course, Saudi Arabia has no intention of paying the billion euros included as the player’s release clause, but believes that in 10 years, the operation will be more easily manageable.
So let’s check back in a few years to see if this idea will still be relevant to Saudi leaders.
