Ancelotti breaks silence on Vinicius Jr future: ‘I have direct information’ | OneFootball

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti insists Vinicius Jr. is not considering leaving the club: ‘I have direct information from the player…’

The Italian tactician replied to questions about the Brazilian’s future during a press conference on Friday, as quoted by Football Espana.

Vini Jr. has been linked with a summer move to Saudi Arabia worth over €350m.

“What I know, and I have direct information, from the player, is that he is very happy here. And that he wants to make history here. In that, we are all on the same path together,” Ancelotti said via Football Espana.

Real Madrid continued to perform well in recent matches despite Vini Jr.’s suspension, but this won’t change Ancelotti’s plans.

“I think they have forgotten that we have already won two Champions Leagues with him. That’s what I think. He is an undisputed player, without a doubt,” he said.

“I can tell you what I see: a happy player, who is making history and who wants to continue.”
