Saudi Arabia See Vinicius Jr As Top Target For Winter Market

## Saudi Arabia see Vinicius Jr as top target for winter market Saudi Arabia seem to be lining up a blockbuster move to bring Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr to the Middle East. The 22-year-old Brazilian winger is one of the most exciting young players in world football and has been in scintillating form for Real this season, scoring 10 goals and providing seven assists in all competitions. His performances have not gone unnoticed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which has been bankrolling a spending spree in recent months that has seen the country's clubs sign some of the world's best players. According to reports in Spain, PIF is preparing a world-record offer for Vinicius Jr that would make him the highest-paid player in the world. The offer is said to be in the region of €200 million (£172 million) per year, which would dwarf the current record held by Kylian Mbappe at Paris Saint-Germain. Real Madrid are said to be reluctant to sell Vinicius Jr, but the financial power of PIF could prove too tempting. If Vinicius Jr does make the move to Saudi Arabia, he would become the latest in a long line of high-profile players to join the country's clubs. Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, and James Rodriguez are just a few of the big names who have made the switch to the Middle East in recent years. The arrival of Vinicius Jr would be a major coup for Saudi Arabia and would further enhance the country's reputation as a rising force in world football.
