Ever since Cristiano Ronaldo's world shattering move so Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr in 2022, the Saudi Pro League clubs have been splashing cash for fun to bring top players from Europe to their league in an attempt to make their league the pinnacle of football.
Real Madrid has seen a number of its players depart the club for lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, these players include Nacho and Karim Benzema.
While yes, these are players that are close to the end of their careers, it still shows that Saudi Arabia has an affinity for Real Madrid players as they have also tried to recruit others such as Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
The Saudi Pro League is not shy when it comes to dealing out lots of money to bring the very best players to their league, and according to the latest reports, it seems two Saudi clubs have an ambitious plan for two of Real Madrid's best players.
Two Saudi Arabian clubs eyeing moves for different Real Madrid attackers
As being reported by Ge Globo, two different Saudi Arabian clubs are ready to go all in for two different Real Madrid attackers, with Al-Hilal targeting Rodrygo and Al-Ahli targeting Vinicius Jr this summer.
The Brazilian attacking duo has been on fire this season, with Vinicius Jr has recorded an impressive 17 goals and nine assists in all competitions this season and his compatriot Rodrygo has 13 goals and six assists in all competitions, including nine goals in his last 11 games. These impressive stats have made then top priority targets of Saudi Arabian clubs.
Al-Hilal view Rodrygo as a prime candidate to replace the departing Neymar as the Saudi leadership believes they can give the Brazilian the prominence he does not have at Real Madrid.
Vinicius has always been a target of Saudi Arabia after their influx of money a few years ago but has never showed any interest in making the switch. Both players have a €1 Billion release clause in their contracts so any move for either player seems unlikely.
