There is still talk about the Brazilian international Vinicius Junior, a key player for Real Madrid, and his pursuit of the Ballon d’Or. However, the surprising news this time is that he is getting closer to leaving Real Madrid.
The Ballon d’Or award, presented by “France Football,” was announced yesterday, with the Spanish star Rodri of Manchester City taking the title. Vinicius Junior’s second-place finish was a shocking surprise.
According to the Brazilian network “Noite de Copa,” the likelihood of Vinicius moving to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has increased significantly due to his failure to win the Ballon d’Or.
The network continued that Vinicius was previously very much affected by an offer from Saudi club Al-Ahly, as he came close to accepting it. However, he ultimately rejected the offer in hopes of winning the Ballon d’Or while playing for the Spanish giants.
Vinicius Junior now feels deeply disappointed by Perez’s lack of intervention and protection against the intense criticism he has faced from France Football and UEFA.
Although the Brazilian network did not reveal Al-Ahly’s position on this matter, the coming days are expected to bring new developments.
It remains to be seen whether Al-Hilal will also return to compete with Al-Ahly for his signature.
