Vinicius Junior, one of Real Madrid's brightest stars, is once again facing uncertainty regarding his future. According to the Spanish publication AS, negotiations for a new contract with the Brazilian have stalled following the appointment of Xabi Alonso as head coach.
According to reports, in recent months, Vinicius and the club's management have worked closely to extend the agreement, with the player even significantly lowering his financial requirements. Therefore, both sides were very close to reaching an agreement. However, Alonso's arrival at the club and Real Madrid's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup slowed the process.
The next two to three months are expected to be crucial for the player's future. If Vinicius is not satisfied with his position and role in the team, he could leave the team as early as the winter transfer window.
At the same time, it's likely that Real Madrid will take the last resort to save the striker. This is because Vinicius has become one of Real Madrid's main driving forces in recent years. His speed, ball handling, and contribution to victories in important matches have repeatedly attracted the attention of fans and experts.
This season, the 24-year-old winger has made 11 appearances in all competitions, assisting his team with 3 goals and 2 assists. Although his current contract runs until the summer of 2027, if this agreement is not extended, Real Madrid may be forced to profit from his transfer.
There is high confidence in Vinicius at the Santiago Bernabéu stands, but tactical changes are expected in the team after Alonso's arrival. These changes can also affect the attacker's position and role in the game. Therefore, it's likely that the coming months will determine the player's decision to stay at Real Madrid or leave.
