The «Real» management has made the final decision to sell 25-year-old Vinicius Junior at the end of the current season.

The breaking point could have been the recent episode during El Clasico, when Vinicius, substituted in the 72nd minute, emotionally addressed coach Xabi Alonso with the words: «Why always me? I’m leaving the club, I’m leaving,» though he later apologized to the team.
This situation immediately caught the attention of Saudi clubs. It was previously reported that «Al-Ahli» had already started negotiations with «Real» regarding the transfer. It is noted that their offer could reach 345 million euros. If the deal goes through at this price, Vinicius Junior’s transfer will become the most expensive in football history, surpassing Neymar’s record (222 million euros) in 2017. Vinicius’s contract with the Madrid club is valid until the summer of 2027.
