Vinícius Júnior’s situation at the Bernabeu has grown increasingly complicated, with Diario Sport reporting that the Brazilian could explore leaving in 2027 should contract negotiations remain stalled. Talks over a new deal have been paused after the winger’s role diminished under new manager Xabi Alonso.
The 25-year-old’s frustration became public during a league clash against Espanyol when he reacted angrily to being substituted. Alonso, according to reports, is beginning to lose patience with the forward’s attitude, further clouding the outlook for a player once seen as the club’s attacking cornerstone.
