Marca newspaper reported that the Al Hilal management’s attention has begun to turn towards Vinicius Junior to sign him next summer, and the secret to that lies in Neymar.
Neymar only participated with Al Hilal in 5 matches, then suffered a major injury due to which he has been away from the stadiums until now for more than a year.
According to the report, Al Hilal officials have doubts about Neymar’s level due to the long absence, and it is most likely that he will not renew his contract, which will end in the summer of 2025.
Al Hilal is currently looking for another international star to lead the left attacking front, and the option of contracting with Vinicius is currently preferred by the management of the Blue Wave.
As for Real Madrid, the Merengue management is not worried about Saudi interest in the player, as the Brazilian’s contract still extends until 2027, and the value of the penalty clause reaches one billion euros.
This is not the first time a Saudi club has been interested in signing Vinicius, with reports coming out last August that Al Ahli had also tried to sign the 24-year-old.
The latest news from Vinicius’s close associates was that after winning the 2024 Ballon d’Or, he might consider Saudi Arabia, and he has not closed the door to a possible move next summer.
