The absence of Vinícius Júnior from Real Madrid training is cause for concern. As the Merengues prepare for their next meeting in La Liga, the Brazilian international is not in the Spanish capital, but in Dubai. An absence which, however, has nothing to do with a disciplinary decision or a personal initiative. According to information from The Athleticthe Madrid winger traveled to the United Arab Emirates as part of a commercial agreement concluded by Real Madrid, which provides for an annual visit. A trip organized with the approval of the club, partner of Visit Dubai since October 2023.

And the calendar was not chosen at random. Still according to the British media, Madrid leaders considered that this was the ideal time to honor this commitment, since Vinícius Júnior is currently serving a four-match suspension in La Liga. The Brazilian, who will not be able to take part in the trip to Valencia this weekend, is therefore taking advantage of this period to fulfill his commercial obligations. And it also suits the player who will leave directly for Brazil after his trip.
