Vinicius Jr Future In Doubt As Real Madrid Contract Talks Collapse Amid Growing Tension With Xabi Alonso
Real Madrid may be preparing for life without Vinicius Junior, as fresh reports suggest contract negotiations between the Brazilian star and the club have completely stalled.
Once considered the long-term face of Madrid’s future, Vini’s relationship with new manager Xabi Alonso is growing increasingly strained — and the silence from both sides hints that a shocking exit could become reality sooner than expected.
Dressing Room Heat: Vinicius Vs. Xabi Alonso
Tension has been brewing since July, when Alonso benched Vinicius during a Club World Cup semi-final — a decision many inside the squad viewed as unnecessarily harsh.
Since then, their chemistry has deteriorated:
-
Vinicius has only started four of Madrid’s 12 league games this season.
-
He’s frequently subbed off early even when performing well.
-
And during the recent 2-1 El Clásico win, the winger hit his breaking point.
After being substituted in the 72nd minute, cameras caught him storming off muttering “always me!” before heading down the tunnel in frustration. The moment went viral, and insiders say Alonso’s rigid, structure-first style isn’t sitting well with players who rely on freedom and flair.
Contract Talks Frozen — And No New Date Planned
Just months ago, Vinicius was close to signing a mega extension until 2030, worth around €18 million per year. Everything was nearly set — until communication suddenly went cold.
Now:
-
Negotiations have stopped completely
-
No progress has been made for months
-
And crucially — no new meeting has been scheduled
His current deal expires in 2027, but Madrid’s silence suggests something deeper: uncertainty about whether the winger fits Alonso’s long-term blueprint.
Saudi Arabia Preparing Another Shocking Offer?
Vinicius is no stranger to jaw-dropping proposals. After winning FIFPro Player of the Year last season, Saudi officials reportedly dangled a €1 billion contract in front of him.
He rejected it then.
But now? Things look different.
Reports from Sky Sports and Spanish media claim:
-
Madrid are open to selling him next summer
-
Their asking price? Around €250 million
-
And Saudi clubs remain very interested
Just months ago, the idea of Madrid selling Vinicius was unthinkable. Today, it’s a real transfer storyline gaining momentum across Europe.
What’s Next For Vini Jr?
If the situation doesn’t change quickly, Real Madrid may face a future where:
-
Vinicius leaves
-
Tensions spill further into the dressing room
-
And the club shifts fully into the Mbappé-Endrick era
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia lurks… ready to offer unprecedented money for one of the world’s most electric attackers.
One thing is clear:
Vinicius Jr’s Real Madrid future is no longer guaranteed — and the next few months could reshape the global football market.
