Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior wants to listen to Saudi Arabia offer as talks continue

What initially seemed like another transfer rumor that would be shot down and dismissed, is here to stay. Vinicius Junior has become the latest brand goal for Saudi Arabian football, and they are ready to pay for him.

This is according to Diario AS, who say that Vinicius and his camp do not want to rule out a move to Saudi Arabia, and want to hear their offer first. Real Madrid have been contacted this week by Saudi intermediaries about a potential move, and have pointed to Vinicius' €1 billion release clause as they don't want to sell.

Now they are making a formal offer for Vinicius to Real Madrid, and the same source says that the player and his camp are in a state of shock at the move and potential figures, and want to explore the possibility before rejecting it. Vinicius is happy in the Spanish capital, but wants to listen to his offer.
