Brazilian star was visibly furious after being substituted in El Clásico, with reports suggesting he feels “disrespected” and is considering an exit.
In a dramatic turn of events, Vinicius Junior’s future with Real Madrid has been thrown into question following his explosive reaction to being substituted in Wednesday’s match against rivals Barcelona.
The Brazilian winger was seen fuming as he left the pitch in the 72nd minute at the decision of head coach Xabi Alonso. Instead of taking a seat on the bench, he stormed directly down the tunnel, making his frustration clear to everyone in the stadium.
As he departed, he was reportedly heard voicing his anger, muttering, “Always me. I’m leaving the team, it’s better if I leave, I’m leaving.”
According to sources close to the player, this incident is more than just a moment of hot-headedness. Vinicius is said to feel that his importance to the squad is not being “respected” by Alonso and is “seriously” weighing up his options. The core of the issue, as reported by Spanish outlet AS, is that “Vinicius perceives that he is not a player to Xabi Alonso’s taste,” and believes “this situation is unsustainable.”
The concern at the Bernabéu is growing, with the report adding that the 23-year-old is not ruling out a move next summer if he doesn’t receive the same unwavering public support from his manager that other star players enjoy.
Despite being under contract with the Spanish giants until 2027, the standoff appears to be escalating. In a significant power play, it is believed Vinicius now plans to put all talks about a new deal on hold until the situation is resolved.
