When it comes to money in sports, the first thing that comes to mind is the Indian Premier League. It is being said that there has been a rain of money in the IPL. But how much money is earned in cricket compared to other sports like football can be estimated from the offer received by Vinicius Junior.
A Saudi Arabian football club has offered this Brazilian football player Vinicius Junior not one hundred but only Rs 9,200 crore to play for them. 24-year-old Junior is a Brazilian footballer. He plays for Real Madrid in the Spanish League La Liga. According to a Reuters report, Vinicius Junior has received a strong offer to play in the Saudi Pro League (SPL). The Saudi Public Investment Fund has offered Vinicius half of one billion euros (about Rs 9,225 crore) for a five-year contract. That is, if Vinicius accepts this offer, he will get Rs 1,845 crore annually as a fee.
Also offered to become the brand ambassador of FIFA World Cup
Vinicius Junior has also received an offer to become the brand ambassador for the 2034 FIFA World Cup. However, not much information has been revealed about him nor is there any information about how much he has been offered for this. There has been no response from Vinicius Junior on this issue yet. According to sources, his team says that this is a tempting offer but its terms need to be read carefully.
Neymar has received his biggest contract ever
Neymar's contract is the most expensive ever signed by a football club in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal signed Brazilian player Neymar for 90 million euros (Rs 8,300 crores). However, Neymar could play only three matches for this club's team. Now, compared to such a huge amount, if we talk about IPL, then the most expensive player of this league, Mitchell Starc, gets less than Rs 25 crore. His one-year contract is worth Rs 24.75 crore.
