Saudi Arabia want another Real Madrid forward apart from Vinicius this summer | OneFootball

At this point, it is no secret that Saudi Arabia have made Vinicius Jr. a top target for the upcoming transfer windows.

The Middle East nation see the Real Madrid megastar as a strategic signing which would open the doors for them to attract more big names from European football.

So much so that they are prepared to splash outrageous amounts of money to sign the Brazilian winger – with activating his €1 billion release clause also well within their means.

Saudi Arabia also want Rodrygo

However, Saudi Arabia are also keeping an eye on Vinicius’ Real Madrid and Brazil teammate, Rodrygo Goes, and want to sign him as well, reports Jorge C Picon.

Speculations over Rodrygo’s future have been doing the rounds since the summer as fears rose that he could get lost in the shuffle following Real Madrid’s acquisition of Kylian Mbappe.

Despite a slow start to the season, the 24-year-old has proven himself integral to Carlo Ancelotti’s plans, as was witnessed in his brilliant performance against Manchester City earlier this week.

Rodrygo has a contract with Real Madrid until 2028 and the Merengues have never considered the prospect of selling him.

However, Saudi Arabia continue to track the versatile Brazilian forward, along with Manchester City and Manchester United.

Despite the growing interest, Real Madrid remain unfazed as they know Rodrygo loves the club and wants to stay while he is also a favourite of Florentino Perez.

In 34 games this term, the former Santos FC wonderkid has 12 goals and nine assists to his name.
