Al-Hilal Want to Replace Neymar with Real Madrid Star Vinicius Jr in 2025

Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal is reportedly keen to replace injured superstar Neymar with Real Madrid's talismanic forward, Vinicius Jr., in 2025. Neymar, recovering from a cruciate ligament tear, is expected to return early next year, but his contract expiration in 2025 has prompted Al-Hilal to explore alternatives.

Vinicius Jr., a top contender for the 2024 Ballon d'Or, has emerged as Al-Hilal's primary target. The Brazilian's impressive form and €200 million valuation haven't deterred the Saudi club, known for their lavish spending on European talent.

According to MARCA, Al-Hilal considers Vinicius a "dream signing" and is willing to break the bank to secure his services. This isn't the first time Vinicius has been linked to a Saudi Pro League club; he reportedly rejected a staggering €1 billion offer earlier.

Real Madrid's reluctance to let Vinicius go, coupled with his existing contract until 2027, makes the transfer challenging. However, Al-Hilal's determination and financial muscle may test Real Madrid's resolve.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid has agreed to sign Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies on a free transfer in 2025, bolstering their defense. This development may impact Vinicius's potential departure, as Los Blancos reinforce their squad.
