Ancelotti: What Vinicius Told Me About Saudi Links

MADRID, SPAIN - MAY 8: Coach of Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti, Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid celebrate the victory following the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg match between Real Madrid and FC Bayern Muenchen (Bayern Munich) at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on May 8, 2024 in Madrid, Spain.(Photo by Jean Catuffe/Getty Images)

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed what Vinicius Junior told him after reportedly receiving a big offer from the Saudi Pro League.

Reports claim that Saudi champions Al Hilal were prepared to break the bank to sign the Brazil international by offering  €350 million bid.

Vinicius has a release clause of €1 billion and would need to enter negotiations with Los Blancos if they can't meet the clause.

However, Ancelotti says the Brazil star wants to make history at the Santiago Bernabeu.

"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, as per MSN.

"We are happy here and we want to make history.

"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." 

Vinicius will play no part of Saturday's clash against Real Valladolid and Ancelotti feels the rest is needed.

"He is the same as always. Not playing tomorrow (Saturday) will be good for him to recover, to work calmly. He will make the most of these days. And he'll be fresh at the key moment," he added.
