MADRID: Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti quashed rumours regarding the future of star forward Vinicius Junior on Friday, saying the Brazilian is committed to staying with the reigning European and Spanish champions.
Spanish media have reported that Vinicius, 24, received a stratospheric offer to join a Saudi Arabian club. “From what I´ve heard, as someone who has direct information from the player, is that he is very happy here and wants to make history at Real Madrid,” Ancelotti said during his press conference ahead of Madrid´s La Liga match against Valladolid on Saturday. “We are happy here and we want to make history,” added the Italian coach. “You have to ask him, I don´t know if this offer arrives or not. I can say what I see: a happy player, who is making history and who wants to continue like this.”
