Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior is reportedly in contact with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund over a potential transfer to the Saudi Pro League.

Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has reportedly remained in contact with representatives of the Saudi Pro League.

The 24-year-old enjoyed a stellar 2024, during which he lifted La Liga and the Champions League as part of Carlo Ancelotti's Los Blancos outfit.

Vinicius has scored once across five matches in 2025 so far but missed Real Madrid 's 4-1 thrashing of Las Palmas on the weekend due to suspension.

Nevertheless, the energetic Brazilian is bubbling along nicely this term for Los Blancos, netting eight times and providing five assists from 15 league matches.

After moving from South American giants Flamengo in July 2018, Vinicius is now one strike away from reaching his 100th goal for the European giants.

Vinicius 'in contact' with Saudi Pro League

According to ESPN, there is a possibility that Vinicius's seven-year stay at the Bernabeu could be coming to a shocking end in the near future.

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) allegedly remain in contact with the 24-year-old's representatives over a potential switch to the Middle East.

The PIF control the top four teams in the Saudi Pro League, clubs that boast world-class talent such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

Initial contact for Vinicius was reportedly made by the PIF last summer, with rumours quietening down at the beginning of the term.

It is believed that the Saudi Pro League have since touched base with the winger again last month, with the player failing to reject a potential switch just yet.

Legacy or riches? Vinicius has the choice

With a £845m release clause in his Real Madrid contract, Vinicius's possible move to Saudi Arabia would likely break plenty of transfer records.

Any club in the world would welcome the talents of the winger, although he must now make an important decision on the direction of his career.

At 24 years of age, Vinicius has plenty of time to cement his status as a Real Madrid legend, having already won the Champions League twice.
