Saudi Arabia tables massive €300m offer for Real Madrid star with €140m salary – report | OneFootball

In recent developments, it has emerged through Edu Aguirre of El Chiringuito TV that Saudi Arabian football has set its sights on Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.

In fact, the journalist mentions that Al-Hilal, one of Saudi Arabia’s top clubs, have approached the Brazilian forward with an extraordinary financial package worth €300 million, including a staggering €140 million in salary alone.

Despite the eye-watering proposal, Rodrygo has turned down the offer, and Real Madrid are equally firm in their decision not to entertain a sale.

Rodrygo’s stocks have risen

Rodrygo’s impressive performances have undoubtedly caught the attention of global clubs, placing him in the spotlight.

This situation mirrors the recent transfer saga involving his fellow Brazilian and Real Madrid teammate, Vinicius Jr., who was also linked to Saudi Arabian clubs. Now, Rodrygo finds himself at the centre of a similar whirlwind.

Sources indicate that Al-Hilal is eager to make a significant statement in the transfer market following Neymar’s departure. With his departure leaving a void in their attack, Al-Hilal have identified Rodrygo as a top target to bolster their offensive capabilities.

Al-Hilal have reached out

The club recently reached out to Rodrygo’s representatives with a proposal described as financially unparalleled.

Additionally, they have contacted Real Madrid to discuss the possibility of a transfer and explore a potential valuation for the talented forward.

Rodrygo’s contract with Real Madrid is set to run until 2028, with a release clause valued at an astonishing €1 billion. While Al-Hilal’s lucrative proposal may be tempting, Rodrygo has steadily cemented his place in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans.

It remains clear that both Rodrygo and Real Madrid are focused on maintaining their partnership, despite external interest.

This development underscores the growing influence of Saudi Arabian football on the global stage and its persistent pursuit of top-tier talent from European clubs.
