    WHAT CARLO ANCELOTTI SAID

    Ancelotti told reporters: "As far as I'm aware, and I have direct information from the player, he's very happy here and he wants to make history at Real Madrid. He's like everyone who works here, we all think the same way -- we're happy here and want to make history."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Ancelotti did admit a Saudi transfer offer may come for Vinicius Jr at some point but it seems the Los Blancos star is not itching to make an exit from the Spanish giants.

    He added: "I don't know if that [Saudi] offer will come or not. I have to say what I see, which is a player who's happy here... Lately I've been thinking I've been getting too angry in news conferences! I should stay calm. So no, I don't get annoyed by questions about Vinícius."
