Vinicius Jr has a world record offer on the table from Saudi Arabia but Man Utd could rival it.

That is according to Relevo, who report that the Real Madrid superstar still has a €1 BILLION contract on the table from Saudi Arabia.

This would see the Brazilian earn €200m per year over five seasons.

The offer is 20 times higher than what he currently earns at Real Madrid.

The plan is to make Vinicius Jr the face of the Saudi Pro League, and for him to also be a key ambassador for their hosting of the 2034 World Cup.

Relevo reports that Vini is strongly considering the offer, having first been presented with the contract during the summer.

Relevo adds, though, that Man Utd are considering rivalling the offer.

United would not be prepared to offer Vinicius Jr the same crazy salary that the Saudi Pro League can, but believe the promise of a new challenge in the 'best league in the world' could tempt Vini.

They also hope to play on the fact that Vini is upset at not winning the Ballon d'Or and believes that the politics related to playing for Real Madrid are a reason for this.

The Saudi Pro League have made it clear that the offer will remain on the table for some time to come.

Saudi Pro League riches

Saudi Arabia took the football world by storm during the 2023 summer transfer window as some of Europe’s most well-known players left the continent in order to join the nouveau richest league in the sport.

Cristiano Ronaldo had already made the move to Al-Nassr, but he was joined in the Saudi Pro League by Neymar, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves, Roberto Firmino, Jordan Henderson, Aymeric Laporte, N’Golo Kante and Karim Benzema, among several others.

The summer of 2024 was a quieter affair but the Saudis plan to spend big again in 2025.

Could Vinicius Jr be the next superstar to move to Saudi Arabia?
