Vinicius Junior remains a very hot topic in Madrid, where even the dismissal of Alonso has not silenced rumors about his future. The Brazilian star has a valid contract with Real Madrid until 2027, but in Spain, the media continues to talk about a strong interest from Saudi Arabia, with the sheikhs demanding his services at all costs in order to increase the image of the championship, practically as they did with Ronaldo, Benzema and many other stars, but unlike them, Vinicius is at the peak of his career.

There has long been talk of Al Hilal's interest, but the Saudi club's Sports Director, Esteve Calzarda, has decided to clarify this rumor. In an interview with Cadena Ser, the Al Hilal director denied contacts with Vinicius, but not the sheikhs' desire to transfer him to Saudi Arabia.:

"In our case, we have not had contact with Vinicius, but every time we speak to the president of the Saudi League, his answer is the same, he will do everything to get him here," said the Director of Al Hilal.

This statement of his further reinforces the rumors that speak of a possible transfer of Vinicius to Saudi Arabia, where a sheikh's salary awaits him, 200 million euros per season.
