Vinicius Junior ‘wants to make history’ at Real Madrid – Carlo Ancelotti

Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that Vinicius Junior is “very happy” at Real Madrid and “wants to make history” at the club amid speculation over his future.

The 24-year-old was linked with a move abroad during last year’s transfer window and The Athletic reported in August 2024 that his representatives held discussions over a possible move to the Saudi Pro League (SPL).

“I have direct information from the player, is that he is very happy here and wants to make history at Madrid,” Ancelotti told a news conference on Friday, when asked about a possible offer for Vinicius Jr, who has scored 16 goals this season, from Saudi Arabia.

“He is the same as the rest of us who are here, in that we are happy and want to make history.”

When pressed on whether Vinicius Jr would be convinced by an offer from Saudi, Ancelotti said: “We have to ask him about this offer, whether it comes or not.

“The player is the same as always, he showed it in the last game (against Red Bull Salzburg). It’s good for him. He can take advantage of the time he hasn’t been able to play to arrive fresh in April.”

Ancelotti dismissed suggestions that Madrid play better without Vinicius Jr, saying: “They have forgotten that we won the Champions League in Paris (2022) and London (2024) with Vinicius Jr, who is an undisputed starter, without a doubt.”
