Carlo Ancelotti has calmed speculation that Vinicius Júnior could depart to the Saudi Pro League.

The Brazilian is reportedly been chased by the league, with up to 300 million euros being offered his way.

But Ancelotti insisted the 24-year-old is happy at the Bernabéu.

"I have direct contact with the player and I'm certain that he's very happy here and, above all, he wants to make history with Real Madrid. Everyone here thinks similar to him: we're happy here and we want to make history."

Vinícius Júnior reached 100 goals with Real Madrid in the team's 5-1 victory over Salzburg on Wednesday to secure a playoff spot after a slow start in the Champions League.

Vinícius scored his 99th and 100th goals, according to UEFA, moving him into third place in the top Brazilian scorers in the Champions League with 28 goals in the competition. Neymar leads the way with 43, with Kaká second on 30.

Madrid said Vinícius has 101 goals for the club, with Spanish media saying the discrepancy dates back to a Spanish league goal that many considered an own-goal and should not count for the Brazil forward.
