Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior received an eye-watering offer from Saudi Arabia that could be considered the biggest in the history of football.

The Brazil international is a dream signing for Saudi Pro League officials and the Public Investment Fund.

ESPN Brasil revealed that the PIF held talks with the Madrid winger and his agents, and tabled an unprecedented offer worth a staggering €350m-a-year.

However, Vinicius decided to turn down the lucrative offer, as he remains committed to Los Blancos.

The 24-year-old has a €1bn buyout clause in his current deal with Real Madrid.
