Vinicius Jr sets the record straight on talk of blockbuster Saudi Pro League move after netting a brace in Real Madrid's Champions League win

Champions League

Real Madrid

<p>Vinicius showcased his brilliance yet again as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-red-bull-salzburg-rodrygo-vinicius-jr/blt94adb5772314cc9c" target="_blank">Madrid secured a dominant 5-1 win over RB Salzburg</a> in the Champions League. The Brazilian winger dazzled the crowd with two breathtaking goals, bringing his overall tally to 101 goals for the club, to further solidify his legacy at the Santiago Bernabeu.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amid his stellar contributions for Los Blancos, reports have linked the 24-year-old with a potential exit, fuelled by interest from the Saudi Pro League. It is believed that top SPL officials are preparing a staggering <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/world-record-fee-saudi-pro-league-spend-vinicius-jr-potential-destination-real-madrid-superstar/blt87f42019a5b3e3d4" target="_blank">€350 million (£296m/$365m)</a> offer for the Brazilian star, a figure that would shatter the current world-record transfer fee of €222m (£200m/$231m) set by Neymar’s move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>When asked about his future amidst the transfer rumours, Vinicius left no doubt about where his heart lies, declaring: "My future? Real Madrid!" </p><p>Reflecting on his milestone of 101 goals with the club, he expressed his deep connection to Los Blancos: "One hundred and one goals with my dream club. I came as a child and being able to enter the history of this club makes me the happiest person in the world. Thanks to all my mates for helping me reach this number. Hala Madrid!"</p>

WHAT VINICIUS SAID

<p>The victory over Salzburg lifted Madrid to 16th in the Champions League standings, securing at least a place in the play-off round. However, the defending champions still have the opportunity to advance directly to the top eight, which would grant them automatic qualification for the last 16. For that to happen, Madrid will need to defeat Brest in their final league-phase match and rely on several favourable results from other fixtures.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Vinicius' loyalty to Madrid and his continued development as one of the world’s elite footballers reflect the strength of the club’s vision for the future. While the lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia may turn others' heads, the 24-year-old has made it clear that his heart and ambitions remain firmly tied to the Bernabeu. With his extraordinary talent and unwavering commitment, the Brazilian is poised to write more chapters in the storied history of Los Blancos.</p>
