Despite getting rid of Alonso, they still secured a massive 1 billion contract; Al-Nassr from Jeddah is ready to spend big to sign the World Footballer of the Year.

Among the Saudi Pro League’s elite clubs and reigning AFC Champions League champions, Al-Nassr from Jeddah looks poised to create their best wing-forward duo. The squad already features ex-Premier League Golden Boot winner and English striker Tony, with the wing target being Vinícius Jr., one of Real Madrid’s Brazilian stars and a former World Footballer of the Year.

According to the latest scoop from reporter Ben Jacobs, Al-Nassr’s primary signing target is Vinícius Jr., and they have presented a huge contract offer during talks. Vinícius had a fallout with coach Alonso, which ultimately led to Alonso’s dismissal, with Vinícius prevailing. However, Vinícius demands a high salary, causing his contract renewal with Real Madrid to stall. Florentino Pérez hopes to sign Haaland, but this depends on selling Vinícius, allowing Mbappé to return to the left wing and Haaland to play as the number 9.

It is reported that Saudi Arabia has identified Vinícius Jr. as a key target for the 2026 summer transfer window. Signing a World Footballer of the Year in his prime would further boost the Saudi Pro League's influence and image. Al-Nassr is the Saudi club managing the deal and has prepared a contract proposal worth up to 1 billion euros, an offer Vinícius cannot refuse. After the 2026 USA-Canada-Mexico World Cup, Al-Nassr will push to sign Vinícius, whose contract with Real Madrid has only one year left. At that time, Real Madrid will seriously consider selling him due to difficulties in contract renewal. Saudi representatives have been in ongoing contact with Vinícius’s agent team for over a year now.
