Vini Jr. reportedly poised to reject Real Madrid contract following fallout with Alonso
In a stunning development, The Athletic reports that Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has informed the club he will not sign a new contract while his relationship with head coach Xabi Alonso remains tense.
Vinicius Jr.’s current deal runs until 2027, but contract negotiations have reportedly stalled due to the Brazilian forward’s strained relationship with Madrid’s new manager, according to The Athletic reporter Mario Cortegana.
Alonso, who took over as head coach during the summer, has guided the team through a promising start to the season. However, his relationship with one of the squad’s key players appears to be reaching a critical point.
Sources cited by The Athletic reveal that Vinicius raised the issue in a private conversation with club president Florentino Pérez last month, underscoring the seriousness of the situation.
