Vinicius Jr has explained why he can't leave Real Madrid despite receiving outrageous Saudi contract offer

Vinicius Junior has previously explained why he doesn’t want to leave Real Madrid.

On Sunday, it was reported that the Brazilian was offered the chance to make a big money move to Saudi Arabia.

As reported by The Athletic, Vinicius Jr’s representatives were approached by a Public Investment Fund delegation in a bid to persuade the forward to become ‘the face of the league ahead of the 2034 World Cup, which is set to be held in Saudi Arabia’.

However, the report also stated: “Real Madrid do not want to sell Vincius, whose release clause is €1billion. He is under contract until 2027 after signing an extension in 2022.

“The Brazil international is happy in the Spanish capital and wants to fulfil his ambition of winning the Ballon d’Or as a Real Madrid player.”

Earlier in the year, Vinicius Jr declared his wish to continue playing for Madrid despite receiving racist chants from rival fans.

He said: “I have never thought about leaving LaLiga because otherwise I would give the racists what they want.

“I am going to continue in the best club in the world, scoring many goals so that they continue to see me. Racists are a minority.”

Vinicius Jr added: “As I am a daring player, who plays for Madrid and we win many titles, it is very complicated. I'm going to continue because the president supports me, the club supports me and I'm going to continue to win many things.

“Above all, I get [strength] from my family, from the fans and from those people who give me messages of encouragement to continue fighting for those who need it.”

Madrid will be back in action on Wednesday night as they take on Serie A side Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup final, which is due to take place at The Kazimierz Górski National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland.
