REAL MADRID superstar Vinicius Jr has snubbed an astronomical bid from Saudi Arabia to renew his contract at Santiago Bernabeu.
Vinicius, 24, has received interest from the Saudi Pro League the last few months with his current deal at Real set to expire in two years.
According to AS, however, the star forward is not leaving Madrid despite being offered a whopping €1BILLION (£846million) contract from Saudi chiefs that would run until 2030.
Instead, the Brazil international has agreed to put pen to paper on a new deal with the Spanish giants that will see him making a staggering €100m (£85m) in the next five years.
Vinicius is expected to pen his new contract at the end of the season, before the Club World Cup.
And the Brazilian’s new deal will come into effect immediately, instead of 2027 when his current contract runs out.

The versatile winger will be making an eye-watering £17m per year after tax once he officially agrees to the new terms.
That, however, will be the minimum amount the ex-Flamengo star will be pocketing at Los Blancos.
The new deal will include some major add-ons based on silverware and goals.
But the biggest incentive is arguably the Ballon d’Or clause which would see him adding an extra £1.7m in the bank.

That will make him the club’s highest-paid player, eclipsing the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
Vinicius just missed out of last season’s award for the world’s best player, which was won by Manchester City star Rodri.
Real were infuriated and boycotted the event in Paris as they insisted their star man deserved it more than the Spain international.
