After reports in the Spanish media about Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr's likely move to Saudi Arabia, the Spanish club's manager Carlo Ancelotti on Friday dismissed it as mere speculation.
"From what I've heard, as someone who has direct information from the player, is that he is very happy here and wants to make history at Real Madrid," Ancelotti said during his press conference, confirming the Brazilian forward's dedication to remain at Santiago Bernabeu.

"You have to ask him, I don't know if this offer arrives or not," Ancelotti further said about reports of the 24-year-old attacker receiving an extraordinary financial proposal from a club in Saudi Arabia.
"I can say what I see: a happy player, who is making history and who wants to continue like this."
Vinicius is currently serving a two-match suspension and will miss the game against Valladolid.
"He is the same as always. Not playing tomorrow (Saturday) will be good for him to recover, to work calmly. He will make the most of these days. And he'll be fresh at the key moment," Ancelotti added.
