Ambitious Saudis: Real Madrid's Brazilian superstar to replace Neymar?!

Reading Time: 2min | Fri. 31.01.25. | 11:19

Al Hilal are allegedly willing to offer €300 million for the forward!

The Saudi "raid" does not stop! Al-Nassr snatched Aston Villa's Jhon Duran and could have easily signed the Nigerian Victor Boniface, Al-Ittihad "stole" Barcelona's gem Unai Hernandez, while Al-Hilal's interest in Mohamed Salah has been a topic in England for some time.

However, before definitely going for the Egyptian, the Blue Waves decided to try causing an earthquake. They apparently weren't discouraged by a harsh mistake they made with Neymar, who was vastly paid for playing only seven games, so, according to Marca, they are now after another Brazilian - none other than Real Madrid's star Rodrygo!

Additionally, the Spanish journalist Edu Aguirre claims the Saudis are willing to offer €300 million for the transfer, while the player would earn €140 million per year! Still, the odds are against Al Hilal, as the 24-year-old's deal with Los Blancos expires in three years, and the player himself highlighted that he wanted to leave a mark in Madrid.

Still, nobody believed that the Saudis would manage to lure players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane, and the aforementioned Neymar, either, and yet, they have all been Saudi Pro League stars. When the Saudi clubs want someone, they know how to get him, so Al Hilal's interest should not be taken lightly.
