Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior Future: Ancelotti Addresses Saudi Arabia Speculation
Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s manager, has expressed his weariness regarding constant questions about Vinicius Junior’s future, particularly concerning Saudi Arabian interest. The Brazilian star, currently under contract until 2027, has begun discussions with Los Blancos for a contract extension.
Despite Real Madrid’s eagerness to secure a new deal before summer’s end, Saudi Arabian clubs have maintained their pursuit of the talented forward. Recent developments indicate that Vinicius has met with Saudi officials to discuss potential opportunities in the Saudi Pro League.
Speaking before the Osasuna match, Ancelotti addressed the situation directly:
“I’m tired, yes. But I’m not worried. He looks happy and we are happy with him. This is only discussed outside, not here. Vinicius doesn’t talk about it either. He’s eager to perform well, as he did in Manchester, and will continue to do so as he reaches peak physical condition after his injuries. I see him very motivated. Against City, despite immense pressure, he made the difference.”
Contract Negotiations and Club Relations
Reports suggest some tension has emerged between Real Madrid and Vinicius’s camp regarding the public nature of discussions with Saudi Arabia. When questioned about potential club frustration, Ancelotti maintained his diplomatic stance: “I am not aware of that.”
The Italian manager also provided perspective on Saudi Arabia’s football ambitions:
• Their focus on the 2034 World Cup
• Current competitive level compared to Europe
• Future potential for growth in the region
Real Madrid has initiated contact with Vinicius’s representatives to understand their demands. Current negotiations suggest significant compromise may be needed from both parties to reach an agreement.
“Would I go? Why not. If I want to continue in football, why not. But we will have to see if I want to do anything after Real Madrid.”
