Vinicius Jr. is currently a big name in the footballing world and therefore is in the close scanners of Saudi Arabia's footballing projects, which is their usual norm with any popular footballer from Europe or South America. According to latest reports, The Saudi Public Investment Fund made Vinicius an offer he exactly could not refuse and is still wracking his mind around the same.

Vinicius could become a billionaire in three seasons

The Saudi Public Investment Fund reportedly offered a whopping €350 million annual salary to the Brazilian star for being onboard the Saudi Arabia project, which would make him a billionaire within a matter of the next three seasons, if the right calculations are done. This would make him one of those footballers who ended up becoming the fastest billionaires on the planet. Even after taxes and deductions, he would still have enough to make it worth his while, along with the perk of becoming the face of football in a cash-rich country like Saudi Arabia.

Real Madrid share own set of concerns

While the Saudis want to make him icon of football in the country, ahead of the 2034 FIFA World Cup, Real Madrid is still frozen on the decision of not letting him go until the €1b release clause is duly met with, which poses serious problems for Saudi Arabia, if they really want him to come onboard the state project, backed by the investment fund.


Since Vinicius still has three years left on his contract, Real Madrid still has the ability to pull the strings around his finances and decisions, as it would not be very easy for Vinicius to take up a hefty paying project in Saudi, without Real Madrid's intent.
