The Brazilian winger, who is under contract with the Spanish giants until 2027, has no intention of leaving the Santiago Bernabeu.
According to the report, a delegation from Saudi Arabia approached Vinicius' representatives with a lucrative deal that would have made him the face of the league, ahead of the 2034 World Cup.
However, the 24-year-old remains committed to Real Madrid and his ambition to win the Ballon d'Or, with the winger a strong contender for this year’s award along with his club teammate Jude Bellingham.
Despite the financial incentive, Vinicius has opted to stay in Spain, where he has been instrumental in the club's recent successes, notably two of Real Madrid's last three LaLiga triumphs in 2021-22 and the previous season and both Champions League wins in 2022 and 2024.
