Vinicius Jr. Set to Depart Real Madrid Amidst Fractured Relationship with Coach

Winger’s Contract Situation

The 25-year-old winger is reportedly hesitant to commit to a new contract with Real Madrid and may exit the club next summer following a deteriorating relationship with coach Alonso, age 44.

Limited Playing Time and Team Divisions

Since Alonso’s arrival earlier this year, Vinicius Jr. has experienced a reduction in playing opportunities. His frustrations were highlighted during a recent match where he visibly reacted negatively after being substituted in Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory against Barcelona.

Division within the Squad

Reports from COPE’s ‘El Partidazo’ reveal that the Real Madrid locker room is divided. Key players such as Fede Valverde, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz, Endrick, and Ferland Mendy have shown their support for Vinicius Jr.

On the other hand, Alonso has his own backing, with Mbappe, Thibaut Courtois, Arda Guler, defender Dean Huijsen, and full-back Alvaro Carreras aligning with his leadership.
