"Talks over a new deal -- with his contract up in 2027 -- have been stalled since last May. Vinicius is in poor form, with no goals in his last 16 games. He has been whistled by Madrid fans, and his relationship with coach Xabi Alonso has been strained. Sources close to the Brazil forward believe there will be no contract agreement before the 2026 World Cup, with no talks expected sooner, which would mean Vinicius entering the final year of his contract."
"The Bernabéu crowd's treatment of the player is not a surprise, sources close to him said, blaming the Spanish media for their coverage of the saga. The only solution to the stand-off is viewed as Vinicius rediscovering his form and the team's all-round game improving, reducing the tension around the side and coach Alonso. That would open up a scenario where Madrid and the player's camp could both justify reaching a compromise agreement."
