"It does seem there is a few tensions between him and Xabi Alonso right now at Real Madrid. As you said, he got that outburst in the El Clásico game last weekend, but he's obviously come out since and apologised for that. There is a chance that Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso and Vinicius Junior can resolve any tensions and issues they have in Madrid because he is still a key player for them."
"He's maybe not as untouchable as he was under Carlo Ancelotti, now you've got Kylian Mbappe who seems to be the spearhead of the Real Madrid attack. He's still a top player, proven at the top level and he's a serial winner in the Champions League. Talks are ongoing over a new contract, they will continue and Real will be hopeful that as I said they can ease all these tensions off the pitch. I think their number one priority will be to keep Vini Jr."
Real Madrid are in talks with Vinicius Junior over a new contract. Manchester City are among clubs keen to sign the Brazil international in summer 2026. There are tensions between Vinicius and coach Xabi Alonso following an outburst in the El Clásico, and Vinicius has apologised. Vinicius remains a key player, proven at the top level and a serial Champions League winner. Kylian Mbappe now appears to be the spearhead of the Real Madrid attack, reducing Vinicius's untouchable status from the Carlo Ancelotti era. Real Madrid hope to resolve off-pitch tensions and prioritise keeping Vinicius.
