Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal are reportedly eager to replace injured superstar Neymar with Real Madrid’s star forward, Vinicius Jr., in 2025. Neymar, currently sidelined due to a cruciate ligament tear, is expected to return early next year. However, with his contract set to expire in 2025, Al-Hilal is already exploring potential replacements.
Vinicius Jr., a leading contender for the 2024 Ballon d’Or, has emerged as their top target. Despite his impressive form and a €200 million price tag, the Saudi club, known for its big spending on European talent, remains undeterred.
According to MARCA, Al-Hilal views Vinicius as a “dream signing” and is ready to make a significant financial push to bring him in. This isn’t the first time Vinicius has been linked to the Saudi Pro League, as he reportedly turned down a massive €1 billion offer earlier.

While Real Madrid is reluctant to part ways with their star, given that his contract runs until 2027, Al-Hilal’s determination and financial power could put pressure on the Spanish club.
In a related move, Real Madrid has reportedly secured Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies on a free transfer for 2025, which could influence Vinicius’s future at the club as Madrid strengthens its squad.
