Tensions between Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid continue to escalate.
For months, the relationship between the club and the Brazilian star has deteriorated, and everything reached a boiling point during yesterday’s El Clasico against Barcelona.
According to The New York Times, the forward did not hold back after being substituted by manager Xabi Alonso, erupting on the bench with clear and frustrated words.
“I’m leaving, I’d better leave. I will leave, only I get substituted.”
This reaction, caught on camera and noticed by the Madrid staff, is seen as a clear signal that Vinicius is seriously considering leaving the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Brazilian has long hesitated to renew his contract, demanding financial treatment equal to Kylian Mbappe, who enjoys the status of Real Madrid’s highest-paid player.
Since Alonso’s arrival, Vinicius’ position has significantly weakened, as the coach has often chosen to substitute him early in matches.
After yesterday’s incident, it increasingly seems that Vinicius Jr is approaching the end of his adventure in Madrid, with several major European clubs already monitoring his situation.
