Real Madrid’s star winger, Vinicius Junior, is fuming after being substituted during Saturday’s match against Espanyol, which ended in a 2-0 victory. This frustration underscores a growing unease within the player’s camp. At just 25, Vinicius finds himself no longer a guaranteed starter at the club, a reality that’s hard to swallow for someone used to being the team’s spark.
Reports suggest that Vinicius feels sidelined since the beginning of the season. Talks to extend his contract until 2027 have stalled, despite him being willing to make salary concessions. The Madrid hierarchy has failed to meet his expectations, fueling his frustration and raising questions about his future with the club.
Real Madrid Wants the Billion
The arrival of Xabi Alonso has transformed the team’s dynamics, emphasizing defensive discipline at the expense of Vinicius’s offensive freedom. The Brazilian, known for his explosive play, is now constrained in a role that limits his contributions on the pitch, adding to his discontent.
As the situation stands, speculation is rife about Vinicius’s future. According to AS, a departure as early as January is a real possibility if things don’t improve. Saudi Arabia is reportedly eyeing him, ready to offer a lucrative contract. However, Real Madrid has made it clear: any negotiations will require a staggering release clause of €1 billion, potentially setting a new record in football.
