Carlo Ancelotti insists he’s not worried. About Vinicius Junior’s long-term future at Real Madrid.
The 24-year-old’s rise to superstardom over the past couple of years now sees him regarded as one of the world’s best forwards. Frightening defences with his immense pace, fantastic dribbling ability and his positional versatility.
Vinicius controversially finished as runner-up to Rodri in last year’s Ballon d’Or vote. And he’s carried over the superb form that made.

But even though Madrid have established themselves as the Kings of Europe in recent times. Winning the Champions League five times over the past decade.
A new contract offer from Real Madrid is understood to have been turned down. Vinicius himself has stressed that negotiations are ongoing and “God willing.” He’s willing to hear what offers may be forthcoming from the Middle East.
With speculation rife that Vinicius could earn an incredible €1bn over the course of a five-year contract in Saudi.
In true Ancelotti style, the Italian kept more than calm and downplayed the situation by insisting he’s happy with what he’s seeing from Vinicius day in, day out.
“Am I tired? Yes. Am I worried? No. I see him happy and we are happy with him. It’s a topic that is talked about outside, not here,” Ancelotti said.
“He doesn’t either. Vinicius is very keen to do things well, like in Manchester and he will continue, because he is starting to have good physical form, after the injuries. I see him very motivated. Against City he was under a lot of pressure and he made the difference.
Ancelotti added that he’s “not aware” of potential meddling from representatives of Vinicius, who will understandably be looking to engineer the best deal for their client. Before the return leg of the Champions League knockout play-off tie with Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu.
As for Ancelotti, his contract at Real Madrid expires in June 2026. On whether he could actually be the one to head for Saudi. He said: “Saudi Arabia’s situation should not be surprising. They face the 2034 World Cup and are in a competitive moment, although less so than Europe, at the moment.
“But in the future, we’ll see. Should I leave? Why not. If I want to continue in football after Madrid, which is the question, why not?”
