Vinicius Jr. Set to Depart Real Madrid Amidst Fractured Relationship With Coach
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 head coach Xabi Alonso.
Since Alonso’s arrival, Vinicius Jr. has experienced a reduction in playing opportunities. His frustrations were highlighted during a recent match where he reacted negatively after being substituted in Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory against Barcelona.
Internal reports 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 the Brazilian star. On the other hand, the coaching staff maintains strong backing from players like Kylian Mbappe, Thibaut Courtois, and Arda Guler, who remain aligned with the current leadership.
