Vini Jr Faces Fan Discontent Amid Contract Uncertainty

Displeasure from Supporters

During Real Madrid’s recent 2-0 victory, Vini Jr was met with jeers from his own supporters. Following the match, the player decided to depart for Dubai, seeking a break.

Coach’s Response

When questioned about the hostile reaction from fans, coach Xabi Alonso offered a sparse defense for his Brazilian player. He remarked, “The supporters have the right to voice their opinions.”

Ongoing Contract Negotiations

Now enjoying his time in the UAE for the holidays, Vini Jr’s discussions regarding his contract with Real Madrid have hit an impasse. With only 18 months left on his current deal, there are indications that the club’s management is starting to accept the possibility of his departure by 2026.

“The Real Madrid management might have preferred to keep Vinicius,” noted journalist Antón Meana during his segment on Cadena SER. “While they wish to extend his contract, they find themselves at a disadvantage in negotiations.”

According to fellow reporter Javier Herráez, “Vinicius appears to be leaving with frustration and determination. His future hinges on his performance. If he returns to his previous form, the fans will surely support him. The entirety of the season shouldn’t rely solely on this situation. It’s possible that Vinicius himself is prolonging the negotiations because he favors leaving rather than renewing.”
