Al-Hilal CEO Esteve Calzada has ignited speculation about a potential future move for Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr. to the Saudi Pro League. While denying any current direct negotiations, Calzada confidently stated that the Saudi league is capable of attracting any player, including the Brazilian winger.
No Direct Contact, But…
Calzada addressed rumours linking Vinicius Jr. with a move to Al-Hilal, particularly ahead of their Club World Cup clash in 2025. He clarified that there has been no direct contact between the club and the player. He mentioned the misinformation that spreads quickly when big matches approach, referencing agent tactics to push new contracts or transfers.
Saudi Pro League's Ambitious Project
Despite denying immediate interest, Calzada emphasized the long-term vision of the Saudi Pro League. He stated, "The moment we’re in allows us to consider any player, and I wouldn’t be surprised by any player coming here, including Vinicius." This highlights the league's ambition to attract top talent, not just seasoned veterans.

Vinicius Jr.'s contract with Real Madrid runs until 2027, and he is expected to sign an extension until 2030. However, Calzada's comments suggest that the Saudi Pro League remains a potential destination for the Brazilian star in the future. He further mentioned that when they want a player, they believe in the project, not just the money, and cited Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival as a surprise for many.
