La Liga president ‘believes’ Vinicius will continue at Real Madrid amid Saudi links | OneFootball

Vinicius Jr. has had erratic playing time in 2025, largely owing to suspensions. The Brazilian star, after all, missed Los Blancos’ last two league clashes and will sit out tonight’s Champions League game owing to the same.

While he sits out the team’s games, he has continued to be on the headlines of Spanish media week in and week out, especially with Saudi Arabia plotting a massive offer to lure him away from the club.

As relayed in recent weeks, the deal they propose is worth over €300 million with a staggering €200 million salary package per season for Vinicius. The claims, needless to say, are worrying.

La Liga president gives his verdict

Speaking to the media earlier today, La Liga president Javier Tebas was asked about the possibility of the Brazilian star leaving Real Madrid for a lucrative offer from the Middle East.

“I have read a lot of things, that he will leave and that he will go. I don’t know and I hope that Vinicius Jr. will continue in La Liga because he is one of our great players,” he began, admitting that he hoped the player would stay.

Tebas then went on to name the best players in the league alongside Vinicius Jr and how each one of them was critical in holding up the name and pride of La Liga.

“Like Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Mbappe. Sometimes we forget about them. Bellingham was the best player last season. Griezmann and Julian at Atletico. There are great players who are having a very good season, and if they leave, others will come.”

Finally, he gave his verdict on how he saw the Real Madrid star’s story continuing, admitting that he felt the player would stay.

“I think Vinicius will stay because the players want to play for a big club like Real Madrid.”

“I hope and believe that he will continue in La Liga,” he concluded.
