Carlo Ancelotti still hopes the Brazilian international will opt to stay at Real Madrid
The Saudi league has not given up on signing Vinícius Júnior and promises to return to the fray in the summer. According to AS, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), which owns Al Hilal , Al Nassr , Al Ittihad , Al Ahli and Al Qadisiyah, is considering putting forward a proposal of 300 million euros and an annual salary of 200 million euros for the Brazilian international.
In a press conference, Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid coach , admitted that he understands if the forward decides to move to Saudi football.
“I understand everything. I understand everything about football. I also understood Kroos leaving football… and few have done that. These decisions are individual. But I have already said it: I see Vinícius happy, wanting to stay and win a title with Real Madrid . I believe he will choose glory,” he said, in the preview of the match against Brest , counting for the last round of the UEFA Champions League .
Asked about the future and whether he will continue if Los Blancos win the league or LaLiga : “The club and I want to stay together for as long as possible. If something strange happens, maybe there will be a change. This happens often in football, but we are working well. The club has confidence in my work. Now we are thinking about having a good season. Despite the difficulties, we are in a good position. Many forget that there are still players missing who are injured. The players are showing attitude and we are confident for this season”, he said.
