Will Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior really go to Saudi Arabia?

It shouldn't be that difficult. Real Madrid are the world's most successful club, the reigning LaLiga and European champions. Vinícius Júnior is one of their brightest stars, last year's Ballon d'Or runner-up and FIFA's The Best winner. His goals helped Madrid win two of the last three Champions League finals. So why is there nonstop speculation that Vinícius, who's only 24, is set to leave Madrid for the Saudi Pro League? And -- with the forward's contract at the Bernabéu due to expire in June 2027 -- just how likely is that outcome?
