Carlo Ancelotti is “sick of listening” to questions related to the future of Vinicius JR, but insists that he is not worried that Real Madrid can lose a wing player on the Saudi Arabia team.
The reports appeared late yesterday that the wing player of Brazil met with the heads of Saudi Pro League 2023 and was offered a five -year contract worth 1 billion euros and that the proposal remained on the table.
Representatives of Vinicius JR consider the offer “unprecedented and unsuccessful”, according to Radio Marc, but after Tuesday, the player told Manchester City on Tuesday that he wanted to stay in Madrid.
The future of Vinicius JR has been hoarse for a long time and it is believed that the club is eager for the extension to its current contract, which expires in 2027.
Asked about the situation today, Ancelotti said, “Am I tormented by hearing about this? Yes. Am I worried? No. Does it seem happy? Yes. We are pleased with him.
“I have nothing to add to what I told you a few weeks ago. It’s not a matter of discussing here. We don’t talk about it here, and he’s not.
“He made a great job in his last game and will continue to do it because he just begins to return that fitness after the injury. He looks very motivated, especially when you see what he did against the city. The pressure was on him and he worn excellently by making it difference in the match. “

Accelotti is unable to answer questions about the Saudi offer
Asked about the reported mega-outs of Saudi Arabia, Italian added: “I can’t answer these questions about whether he received any offers or will not change his mind. All I can do is tell you what I see, what is a happy footballer who He wants to work well and make history in this club, that’s all. “
Madrid has pulled a makeshift four at Etihad and will probably be a similar lineup when he goes to Pamplon tomorrow to take over Osasun in La Liga.
Ancelotti hopes to have two main players – Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba – back for the second part of their play -off in the Nokaut Champions League phase against City next week.
“They improve themselves,” he said. “He will continue to work individually until Monday, and then start Tuesday with a team and available for a match against City, and the same is true of Lucas Vázquez.”
We are in good form – acelotti
Madrid sits on top of La Liga, but Atletico Madrid are just one point with Barcelona and a further point.
“We are in good shape and very motivated,” Acelotti said. “It’s an opportunity to stay at the top of the table, which is our goal. It will be a difficult game, but we descend from a good result and want to consolidate it. We have to see the repeat of all the good things we did against Manchester City in this match.
“We learned how important it is to show this obligation, we saw it at the Etihad stadium. We delivered in a big game. Of course we have to remain consistent and tomorrow will be a good test in that sense.
“This is a team that has a great understanding of the perfect moment to push. If tomorrow they don’t see that this is the right time to amplify it, because it is a very narrow season of La Liga with our rivals that breathed down the neck, then we are wrong. It is vital game. “
