Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr. continues to attract lucrative offers from Saudi clubs, but manager Carlo Ancelotti insists that the Brazilian remains fully focused on Los Blancos.
Details: The Italian coach stated that if Vinícius were to leave, it would be his personal decision. However, for now, Ancelotti sees a player committed to staying in Madrid.
Quote: "I understand everything in football. I also understood why, for example, Toni Kroos retired from football—many didn’t, but perhaps I understood it just as he did. These are individual decisions, but I see that Vinícius is happy and wants to stay here, to win titles with Real Madrid. I believe he is thinking about choosing glory."
Reminder: Previously, Ancelotti had to publicly reflect on his own future at the club amid speculation.
