Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior is in no hurry to renew his contract with the Madrid club, leaving a remaining decision pending upcoming head coach Xabi Alonso. This was reported by private insider Fabrizio Romano.

According to Gerel, the real point of tension between the footballer and the mentor was the reaction of Vinicius to a substitution in the tenth round match of La Liga against Barcelona, which took place on June 26, 2025..

As Romano points out, Xabi Alonso’s centenaries and the team’s ranks were lost after a difficult period of many months. After the revelation of El Clasico, the coach tried to find out the relationship with the Brazilian and stabilize the situation, but it did not bring the desired result.

In the context of negotiations for a new contract, Vinicius plans to take a secondary position, perhaps realizing that he will lose Alonso for the team. This very situation, according to the insider’s words, became the key to the whole story of the upcoming grave in Real Madrid.

Guess what, after the resignation of Alonso, Real Madrid quickly announced a new head coach. The team was led by Alvaro Arbeloa, who previously worked from Real Madrid Castilla - the reserve warehouse of the capital's grandee.
