Overview
- Multiple outlets cite journalist Ben Jacobs in reporting Al-Ahli’s interest with a near-€1 billion total contract for a 2026 move.
- Neither Real Madrid, Al-Ahli, nor Vinícius’s camp has confirmed an offer or negotiations of that scale.
- Vinícius remains tied to Real Madrid until 2027 and has publicly expressed a desire to renew his deal.
- Reports say renewal discussions have cooled at times, including during Xabi Alonso’s short spell as coach.
- Saudi intermediaries have kept in touch with the player’s entourage since last summer, as fan boos at the Bernabéu contrasted with his strong showing against Monaco.
