Khaberni - Spanish media have confirmed that there is a rising tension within Real Madrid between the Brazilian star Vinicius Junior and Spanish coach Xabi Alonso, amid indications of a deteriorating relationship between the two to the point of severance.
The website fichajes reported that the trust that existed between the player and his new coach has vanished completely, after Vinicius felt he no longer enjoyed the status he was accustomed to in the starting lineup.
It explained, "Communication between Vinicius and Alonso has stopped for weeks, following a series of technical disputes that appeared during recent trainings and matches, and it is believed that the Brazilian star has expressed his dissatisfaction to his agent, affirming that he will not accept staying at the club unless he is considered an indispensable starting player, which is a clear warning to the Real Madrid management before entering into contract renewal negotiations."
On the other hand, club sources reported that the management has informed Vinicius of the necessity to sign a new contract as soon as possible, or face a significant reduction in minutes of play in the upcoming phase, which was widely understood as an "official and final warning" from the club to the player whose contract ends in 2027. The management also warned him against repeating his impulsive acts that occurred during the last Clásico match against Barcelona, considering such behaviors unworthy of a leading striker at Real Madrid.
The site continued, "This complex situation puts both parties at a true crossroads, at a time when Alonso seeks to impose technical and tactical discipline within the locker room."
It concluded, "Vinicius believes that his stature and stardom deserve greater trust and freedom, while if the crisis is not contained quickly, the coming days could be decisive in determining the future of one of the most prominent stars of the royal club in recent years, as the possibility of his early departure from Santiago Bernabeu is now more conceivable than ever."
