Real Madrid manger Carlo Ancelotti insists Vinicius Jr will not leave the club despite receiving racial abuse in LaLiga this season.

Valencia fans made monkey motions and noises at the 22-year-old Brazilian winger During an away game at the Mestalla.

The game resumed after a brief pause when Vinicius called out some of the violators to the referee. Three men were later seized on accusations of making racial remarks on Tuesday.

According to Metro.co.uk, Vinicius is dissatisfied with Real Madrid and La Liga’s lack of support. As a result, you may contemplate leaving. Ancelotti, on the other hand, is convinced Vinicius will stay and continue to defend himself.

Ancelotti responded to a question on the Brazilian’s future with Los Blancos during a press conference on Tuesday.

He said: “Vinicius loves football and Vinicius loves Real Madrid. I think that he’s not really planning to leave. That’s not what he’s thinking here.

“His love for Real Madrid is so big that he wants to continue to play here, make history with this team and win titles for this club.

“Of course, I’ve talked to him. Of course, he’s sad, but he knows very well that he has the support of the whole world and not only the support of Real Madrid and his teammates.

“He has received support from his rivals, from his international teammates, from football legends, so in this respect, he’s very calm.”

Los Blancos have had a somewhat dismal season in 2022/23. They will finish the season with only the Copa del Rey 2022/23. Real Madrid require a player in the mold of Vinicius to reclaim their throne.

Vinicius has an impressive 23 goals and 21 assists in all competitions for Real Madrid this season, including 10 goals and 10 assists in his 32 Laliga appearances, as well as seven goals and five assists in the Champions League, three goals and four assists in the Copa del Rey, three goals and one assist in the Club World Cup, and one assist in the UEFA Super Cup.
