Saudi Arabia shakes Real Madrid

According to Fichajes, Saudi Arabia is looking towards the capital Madrid with the ambition to recruit three big stars of Real including Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba and Vinicius Junior.

Saudi Arabia has ambitious plans to sign three Real Madrid players.

Among them, Alaba is said to be closest to the exit door. The Austrian defender's contract will expire in 2026 and Real Madrid has no intention of extending it. Continuous injuries and high wages have caused the Spanish Royal team's leadership to soon consider a replacement for Alaba for next season.

Rudiger's situation is more complicated. The German's contract is also about to expire, and although Real are still willing to listen to his future plans, internally the club is leaning towards letting the player go.

Rudiger is currently injured, causing the negotiation process to stall. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has sent his representative an "irresistible" offer, including a huge salary and a long-term contract.

The story with Vinicius is completely different. The Brazilian star is a symbol of Real Madrid's attack and one of the best players in the world today. For Saudi Arabian clubs, signing Vinicius is a media explosion that can help improve their image in the world.

However, this deal is not easy. Vinicius is currently tied to Real until 2027. If they want the 25-year-old's signature, Saudi Arabia will have to spend a record fee and a bold campaign to convince him.

Despite the obstacles, Saudi Arabia's continued pursuit of world-class stars shows no signs of stopping. After Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar or Benzema, it seems the dream of "Europeanizing" Middle Eastern football is still being nurtured.
