Real Madrid Refers to Vinícius Jr.'s Release Clause: How Much Is It?

It seemed that the news linking Vinícius Jr. with Saudi Arabia was just rumors, but according to Marca, it’s becoming quite serious.

In fact, the report states that Al Ahli has already contacted Real Madrid to explore the possibility of signing the Brazilian forward this season.

The response from the Madrid club has been clear and firm: Vinícius Jr.'s release clause, which is 1 billion euros (1.092 billion dollars).

The same information, citing sources close to the situation, indicates that the Madrid club does not consider it likely that Al Ahli will reach such a figure, which would make the Brazilian the most expensive signing in history.

In the coming days, the Saudi club is expected to present a formal offer to Real Madrid.

Sources close to the Brazilian suggest that the Saudi proposal is one to consider carefully, given it includes a five-year contract and a total salary of 1.092 billion dollars.

At Real Madrid, Vinícius is earning 21.8 million dollars gross, so he would earn nearly 200 million dollars more per season in Saudi Arabia.
