Real Madrid defender linked with Saudi move after Vinicius Jr

Vinicius Jr was recently linked with a big-money move to the Saudi Pro League. There have been conflicting rumours about the Real Madrid superstar's stance on the matter. Some sources have suggested that he has turned down the approach. But other outlets have claimed that the Brazilian is ready to listen to the offer and has not closed the door on the idea.

Of course, we have seen quite a few Real Madrid players make the move in recent years. Karim Benzema is now at Al-Ittihad. Nacho left this summer to join Al-Qadsiah. More could follow in the future.

Vinicius is not the only Real Madrid player to be linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League either. One of his Brazilian teammates seems to be a transfer target as well.

As reported by TEAMtalk, according to the latest reports in Brazil, the Saudi Pro League has also expressed its interest in Eder Militao. His representatives have been contacted over a possible switch, with a mega contract proposal likely being drawn up too.

Militao has been a key part of this Real Madrid team in recent years. He spent the majority of last season out injured but fortunately, it did not have an impact on the team's results.

Militao is just entering his prime years on the pitch. Thus, it would not be ideal for him to move to the Saudi Pro League at this stage of his career. That being said, he might be sent an offer that is just too good to turn down. In the past, we have seen players like Oscar leave European football while at the top of their game.

Despite the addition of players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, the popularity of the Saudi Pro League has not really grown as much as was originally expected. Now, it looks like they are changing their strategy and trying to sign players in their prime.
