Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed rumors that Vinicius Junior will join a top-tier club in Saudi Arabia. He has made it clear that the Brazilian striker will continue to achieve glory with Real Madrid rather than transfer to a club in the Saudi Pro League.
Saudi Arabia’s Persistent Interest: Vinicius Junior, 24, has been a long-term target for clubs in the Middle East, with renewed interest earlier this month. However, Real Madrid believes he is fully focused on his future at the club, showing strong commitment to the team’s ambitions and ongoing pursuit of major trophies.
Vinicius’ Impact This Season: The Brazilian has been in sensational form this season, scoring 16 goals in 26 matches across all competitions. His impact has been particularly strong in the UEFA Champions League, where he has netted seven goals in six appearances, including a hat-trick against Borussia Dortmund.
Focus on Titles over Transfers: Despite being the reigning champions, Real Madrid currently faces a difficult challenge to secure automatic qualification for the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League. While pursuing domestic and European success, Vinicius Junior appears committed to the club’s long-term ambitions, prioritizing sporting glory over significant financial incentives elsewhere.
