MADRID (AFP) — Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, has quashed rumours about the future of star forward Vinicius Jr., stating that the Brazilian is determined to stay with the reigning European champions and Spanish champions.
Spanish media reported that Vinicius (24), received a astronomical offer to join a Saudi Arabian Club.
Ancelotti, who had direct information about the player, said that he was very happy to be here and wanted to make history with Real Madrid.
The Italian coach added, “We want to make history and we are happy here.”
“You need to ask him. I don’t even know if the offer is coming or not.” I can see a player who is happy, making history and wants to continue in this way.
Vinicius will not be playing this weekend as he is serving a two-match ban. However, Ancelotti does not seem concerned by his absence.
“He is the exact same as before.” He will be able to relax and work calmly if he doesn’t play tomorrow (Saturday). He will make the best of these days. “He’ll be fresh when the time comes,” said the 65-year old.
Ancelotti said he wasn’t tired of answering questions about the FIFA Best Player and his future.
“No, I shouldn’t be so angry at press conferences. I know why. I’ve been thinking about it a lot these days. “No, Vinicius’ questions don’t bother me.”
