The Saudi prO league (SPL) is reportedly preparing a major offensive to acquire two of the world’s best players from La Liga: Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior and Barcelona Pedri. After a series of high -profile recruits during the latest transfer windows, SPL continues to attract top talents with lucrative contracts, although it involves recruitment from leagues with a higher level of total competition.
Reports indicate SPL prepares a staggering bid of € 350 million (£ 294.3 million). Vinícius junior. The Public Investment Fund (PIF), the unit that runs SPL’s expansion, has reportedly already contacted Vinícius Júnior’s representatives.
Although an official bid has not yet been submitted to Real Madrid, SPL’s CEO Omar Mugharbel’s comments suggest that a significant offer is imminent. This potential transmission would represent a monumental change in the global football transition landscape.
At the same time, PIF is reportedly to chase Barcelona’s midfielder Pedri.

Contract barriers and liberation clause
However, safe PedroS services are facing significant obstacles. Although his current contract expires in 2026, Pedri has reportedly agreed to an oral extension with Barcelona by 2030 or 2031. This oral agreement would almost certainly prevent Barcelona from accepting any bids unless Saudi Pro League is willing to meet Pedri’s significant € 1 billion (£ 840.95 million) release clause.
