Aiming to make a splash in the global transfer market, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr has begun to slowly initiate discussions and inquire about the contract situation of a Real Madrid player.
According to The Athletic, a Public Investment Fund (PIF) delegation has started talks with representatives of none other than Vinícius Júnior, one of the key figures in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
While Vinícius Júnior’s move to Al Nassr may not happen in the short term, the Arab team will aim to sign the Brazilian forward at some point.

The situation of Vinicius Júnior at Real Madrid
The current Real Madrid star is under contract until 2027 and also has a staggering release clause of €1 billion.
While it is well known that financial considerations are often not a problem for Arab clubs, the Brazilian forward has made it clear that his intention is to continue wearing the Madrid colors, with the aim of increasing his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or.
This is why a short-term departure from Spanish football seems like a pipe dream, although Al Nassr’s executives will still make every effort to bring the Brazilian star into their ranks.
