Vinicius and Alonso .. New Tension at Real Madrid Ignites the Scene

In a new development that ignites the atmosphere at Real Madrid, Spanish reports revealed yesterday, Sunday, a great anger engulfing Brazilian star Vinicius Junior after coach Xabi Alonso's decision to place him on the bench in the team's second match of the Spanish league against newly promoted Real Oviedo, preferring to start his teammate Rodrigo instead.

The royal club announced the official lineup that saw Vinicius absent from the starting eleven, which greatly upset the player, especially amid rising media tensions between him and the team's management due to the stalled negotiations for renewing his contract.

Vinicius, whose contract with Real Madrid ends in the summer of 2027, was close to extending the contract, but the high financial demands presented by the player led to a freeze in talks, opening the door for speculation about his potential departure in the summer of 2026.

Ramon Alvarez, a journalist at "Marca" radio, confirmed that Vinicius is suffering from a state of severe dissatisfaction, especially after being substituted in the previous match against Osasuna, which Real Madrid won with a goal from Kylian Mbappe, where many considered this change to be a clear message from Xabi Alonso to the player that his place in the starting lineup is no longer guaranteed.

It seems that the relationship between Vinicius and Xabi Alonso is entering a critical turning point, amid great pressure on the Brazilian star to prove his worth, at a time when speculation about the future of one of Real Madrid's most prominent talents is rising for the next season.
