Real Madrid’s winger, Vinicius Junior has said the potential to earn one billion dollars is not his motivation but to be among the best in football.
Recently, reports went viral that Vinicius Junior has received an astonishing $1 billion offer from a club in the Saudi Pro League.
The surprising nature of the offer initially raised concerns within the Santiago Bernabeu hierarchy, as Vinicius appeared reluctant to reject it outright.
The 24-year-old Brazilian winger, who is seen as the favourite to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or, is said not to be in a hurry to decide his future at Real Madrid. A report by ESPN claimed that Vinicius would only consider his next move at the end of the ongoing season.
If Vinicius Junior agrees to move to Saudi Arabia, the move would catapult him into the top echelon of the world’s highest-paid athletes. Despite this potentially life-changing opportunity, Vinicius remains focused on his current club.
In an interview with CNN Sports, Vinicius emphasized his ambition to consistently perform at the highest level with Real Madrid.
He said, “I always strive to be among the best, and with each passing day at Real Madrid, I feel more confident.
“I’ve already celebrated two Champions League triumphs, and playing alongside teammates like Dani Carvajal, who have won it six times, motivates us to push our limits every day. With the team we have now, I believe that anything is possible.”
