Severe Dispute Between Vinicius and Xabi Alonso Ignites Tensions Within Real Madrid

It seems that the relationship between Brazilian star Vinicius Junior and Real Madrid has reached a crossroads, following escalating tensions with coach Xabi Alonso and increasing disputes over the renewal of his contract, amid reports indicating that the club's management has lost confidence in the star who won the "The Best" award for the best player in the world last season.

Media reports, notably those conveyed by journalist Mario Cortegana from "The Athletic", have stated that the disagreements between Vinicius and Alonso have intensified over the past six months, peaking during the team's participation in the Club World Cup last month, which witnessed severe tension between the two parties.

According to the source, Alonso was not satisfied with Vinicius's performance during the tournament, prompting him to make the bold decision to exclude him from the semi-final match against Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Trent Alexander-Arnold's last-minute injury forced the Spanish coach to backtrack and include him in the match.

On the other hand, Vinicius is experiencing tension with Real Madrid's management due to negotiations over his contract renewal, as he is demanding an annual salary of 30 million euros, similar to his French teammate Kylian Mbappe, while the management refuses to raise his salary above the 20 million euros he currently earns.

Reports indicate that the club's management has begun to consider taking decisive actions regarding the player, including re-evaluating his role within the team, especially after his performance level has declined since the beginning of this year, and his failure to provide the expected contribution, which contributed to Real Madrid's modest results last season.

Despite the public criticism he has faced for some time, Vinicius remains steadfast in his financial demands, fully aware of what is happening around him in the corridors of the press and among fans, which complicates the situation between the two parties further.

It seems that the relationship between Vinicius and Real Madrid is going through one of its toughest periods, amid genuine questions about his future at "Santiago Bernabeu", and whether the coming days will witness a breakthrough or a definitive rupture.
