There\u2019s ongoing discussion about Brazilian international Vinicius Junior, a vital player for Real Madrid, and his ambitions for the Ballon d\u2019Or. However, recent news indicates he may be closer to leaving the club.<\/p>\n
The Ballon d\u2019Or award, presented by \u201cFrance Football,\u201d was announced yesterday, with Manchester City\u2019s Rodri taking the title, and Vinicius\u2019s second-place finish came as a surprise.<\/p>\n
According to the Brazilian outlet \u201cNoite de Copa,\u201d the chances of Vinicius moving to Saudi Arabia have significantly increased after he didn\u2019t win the award. The report noted that he was previously tempted by an offer from Saudi club Al-Ahly and nearly accepted it, but ultimately turned it down in hopes of winning the Ballon d\u2019Or with Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
Vinicius now feels disappointed by club president Florentino Perez\u2019s lack of support in the face of harsh criticism from France Football and UEFA. While the Brazilian outlet didn\u2019t disclose Al-Ahly\u2019s current stance, further developments are expected soon. It\u2019s also uncertain if Al-Hilal will enter the race for his signature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
