Global sports media The Athletic reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'Saudi and Vinicius representatives met' on the rumor of Vinicius' transfer to Saudi Arabia.
Vinicius has recently received keen attention over rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia. Brazilian and Spanish media outlets reported that Saudi Arabia offered Vinicius Junior €1 billion (about W1.5 trillion) and that Saudi Arabia is preparing to negotiate the biggest contract in sports history to appoint him as an ambassador by the 2034 World Cup. 'The project is in progress with the aim of acquiring Vinicius to Alhl' and expressed Saudi Arabia's immense interest.

According to some reports, the offer Saudi Arabia is considering was of a scale beyond imagination. Brazil's ge indicated 'Unofficially, Saudi funds will sign contracts in excess of €1 billion over five years, including salaries and bonuses. In addition, the project said it wants to keep Vinicius in Saudi Arabia until the 2034 World Cup, suggesting a five-year contract worth 200 million euros (about 300 billion won) per year and considering even a 10-year contract.
According to this, Vinicius's salary is comparable to Cristiano Ronaldo's 200 million euros, who is receiving the world's highest salary in December 2022, wearing an al-Nasr uniform, and is expected to be well above the total. The amount offered is seven times the annual salary of 30 million euros (about 45 billion won), which Son Heung-min received from Saudi Arabia, and it is an amount that cannot be imagined even when considering the hourly wage alone.

Some media predicted that the reluctance to transfer was due to the Ballon d'Or. The Brazilian ge is 'Vincius is a strong candidate for the Ballon d'Or. The final candidates will be revealed before the end of the Saudi Arabian transfer market. The Ballon d'Or is one of the important points for Vinicius. He assessed how much leaving Europe could have an impact on votes, which would determine the door to negotiations in the final situation', adding that the variable Ballon d'Or would not give a more positive answer right away.
Along with Vinicius, Real's position was not much different. Spanish media reported that Real said it would negotiate a transfer to Vinicius only for a buyout of 1 billion euros (about 1.5 trillion won).

Most recently, it was reported that Lee Kang-in received an offer. France's Foot Mercato 'Saudi is making eye contact with Lee Kang-in. One club wants to make him one of the highest-paid players in the league. At the same time, I'll be giving PSG a super large offer. Regarding Lee Kang-in, who was signed until June 2028, he expressed Saudi interest, saying, 'We have to wait and see what PSG, which had closed the transfer door, will do.'
Prior to Lee Kang-in, Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae also received offers, but all refused. Son Heung-min has constantly received Saudi Arabia's attention since last summer. At that time, Son Heung-min decided to stay at Tottenham if he refused the offer of 30 million euros in salary. This summer, Son Heung-min delighted fans with the interview that he wanted to stay in Tottenham, not Saudi Arabia.
Kim Min-jae also received a proposal this summer. German media reported in July that Bayern star Kim Min-jae rejected the Saudi Arabian team's offer. Among them are Cristiano Ronaldo's team Alnasr and Nacho Fernandez's transfer Al-Kadisiya, who expressed Saudi interest in Kim Min-jae, who also rejected Saudi inquiries. Kim Min-jae explained that he wasn't even interested in their proposal at all, saying, 'I didn't listen to them at all. In addition to Korea, Japanese national team ace Takefusa Kubo was offered a large contract but refused to transfer.
Vinicius was not too shaken by Saudi Arabia's all-time offer. His dream is still in Europe, the Ballon d'Or, and Real.
