The saga continues around Vinicius’ future at Real Madrid. A time of cold weather with his trainer Xabi Alonso, the striker has seen his status evolve since the arrival of the Spanish technician. Indisputable under Carlo Ancelotti, the Brazilian is now more often concerned by premature exits or the bench, which had caused strong internal tensions.
The breaking point came during the Clasico won against FC Barcelona. Annoyed by his replacement, Vinicius violently expressed his anger by leaving the pitch, going so far as to verbally attack his coach. In the process, the Brazilian decided to freeze discussions concerning his extension, his contract running until 2027.
An extension in sight?
Since then, the climate has clearly calmed down, particularly after the spectacular victory against Olympiakos (4-3) in the Champions League. According to Mundo DeportivoVinicius would now be closer than ever to an agreement with Madrid management. The player would have accepted a salary offer revised downwards compared to his initial demands, he who wanted to get closer to, or even exceed, the salary of Kylian Mbappé.
Internally, relations have also become normalized. Vinicius apologized to Xabi Alonso and the entire group for his behavior. Apologies accepted by the coach, who confirmed this warming : “We trust each other, we talk before matches. He knows what I think, I know what he thinks. This is the best way to make decisions together”he confided after the European success. Enough to definitively relaunch the possibility of an extension.
