However, La Liga president Javier Tebas believes Vini Jr will continue at Real Madrid despite being offered a lucrative deal from the Middle East.

Tebas then went on to name the best players in the league alongside Vinicius Jr and how each one of them was critical in holding up the name and pride of La Liga.
“Like Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Mbappe. Sometimes we forget about them. Bellingham was the best player last season. Griezmann and Julian at Atletico. There are great players who are having a very good season, and if they leave, others will come.”

“I think Vinicius will stay because the players want to play for a big club like Real Madrid.”
