Follow usThe Royal Club and Vinicius Junior still want to continue their partnership and were very close to agreeing on an extension, but the new contract will have to wait after the behavior of the Brazilian star at El Clásico. Once the contract was very close to becoming official with Vini inking a new deal through 2030, now things have frozen at least permanently after the problems between the Brazilian and head coach Xabi Alonso.
Despite the stalled discussions, Real Madrid is claiming that it still wants to sign Vinicius long-term, but things will be delayed at the moment after the chiefs at Bernabeu want to make sure that everything will be fine between all sides in the dressing room, if the Brazilian stays.
Problems between the Brazilian forward and new manager Xabi Alonso have been building since the summer, when the head coach benched him during the Club World Cup ½ finals. After that, Vinicius was not a starter in every game, and things escalated over the past weekend, when the Brazilian was replaced in the 72nd minute and stormed off the pitch and went down the tunnel before returning to the bench afterwards.
