Real Madrid is going through a period of great upheavals. After a delicate season punctuated by a heavy defeat in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup against Paris Saint-Germain (4-0), the Madrid club seeks to start from the front. Xabi Alonso, recently appointed coach, now has full powers to make major changes.
This reinforced control notably manifested on Wednesday evening, when Xabi Alonso decided to release Vinicius JR in the 65th minute, while the Brazilian was completely pain. Frustrated, the Auriverde winger would have badly made this decision. Placed on the right side, a position where he would feel uncomfortable, Vinicius fails to fully express his talent, according to those around him.
Since the loss of the Ballon d'Or last October, the Brazilian seems in difficulty. Now sharing the front of the stage with Kylian Mbappé, their complicity on the field leaves something to be desired. Xabi Alonso's great mission will be to make these two stars cohabit. However, the future of Vinicius in Real Madrid remains uncertain.
No agreement between the two parties
Unlike the initial announcements, its contract extension has still not been formalized by the club, reveals journalist Miguel Angel Diaz. “There would be no agreement between the two parties for an extension”he specifies, thus reviving speculations on a possible departure from the White House.
Venicius valued at 170 million euros, Vinicius is linked to Real until 2027. Rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia, with a colossal offer of one billion euros over five years, continue to feed the discussions. If nothing has yet been acted, the situation could quickly evolve in the coming weeks.
