Despite Vinicius publicly stating his commitment to Madrid, Saudi clubs remain relentless in their pursuit, hoping to capitalise on the uncertainty surrounding his contract negotiations.

Saudi Arabia’s long-term plan revolves around exploiting any stumbling blocks in Real Madrid’s contract talks with Vinicius.

With his current deal expiring in 2027, the forward has just over two years remaining, and Madrid are eager to secure a renewal to avoid any risks.

However, reports suggest that Vinicius is demanding a salary that would break the club’s wage structure—something Real Madrid are hesitant to agree to.

This hesitation is exactly what Saudi Arabia are banking on. Their approach is to monitor Madrid’s negotiations closely and step in with a mammoth financial package if discussions hit a deadlock.

Given their recent success in attracting top players with lucrative offers, they believe they can pull off another major coup.

Although Vinicius has repeatedly declared Real Madrid as the club of his life, Saudi Arabia’s project cannot be ignored completely.

Money aside, their league still lacks the competitive appeal of European football, which makes a move unlikely.

However, if Real Madrid refuse to meet his wage demands and the relationship sours, Saudi clubs will be waiting with an offer too good to refuse.

For now, the decision rests with Madrid. If they finalise a renewal soon, Saudi Arabia’s hopes will fade. But if negotiations drag on, their masterplan could suddenly look much more realistic.
