Real Madrid identify two potential Vinicius Jr replacements amid talk of €1bn Saudi offer for Brazilian superstar

Champions League

Arsenal

Real Madrid

<p><a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/real-madrid/wirtz-o-nico-williams-vinicius-115426263" target="_blank">According to a report by SPORT</a>, the Brazilian winger intends to ask for a pay rise. He is currently one of Los Blancos' highest-paid stars, and is on the same terms as fellow superstars Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham. Under contract until 2027, Vinicus wants to extend his deal until 2029, in return for a substantial hike in his wages.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>It's unlikely that Florentino Pérez will cave to his demands, despite wanting the player to stay at the club. Rumours of a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/saudi-pro-league-record-straight-eur1bn-transfer-offer-vinicius-junior-real-madrid-sensitive-issue/blt7fc34fa529329d27#csa2ef54bd27865562" target="_blank">€1 billion (£840m) offer from Saudi Arabia will likely intensify</a>. Real Madrid would consider a transfer fee in excess of €250m (£209m/$273m). If Vinicius forces the club's hand, it is believed they will pursue the services of Wirtz or Williams.</p><p></p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Vini Jr. has continued to excel for Real Madrid. The 24-year-old has contributed 18 goals and 11 assists in his 39 appearances for Los Blancos this season. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Vinicius Jr.'s attention turns to international duty, as Brazil take on Colombia in a World Cup qualifier later this evening. The Seleção face against their oldest rival, Argentina, on the 25th March. </p>
