“I’m leaving the team, I should go,” Vinicius Junior lashes out publicly as he feels disrespected by his coach, Xabi Alonso, after being substituted during the second half against Barcelona.
It reported that Alonso is not a big fan of Vinicius style of play, and the tension between the two has been back and forth the entire season. The 25-year-old old considering other options outside Real Madrid.
According to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol, at the Bernabeu headquarters last month, talks were held between both parties requesting him to change his style of play.
There has been some change here and there, but now Vinicius feels disrespected because ever since Alonso arrived at Real Madrid, a lot of the time when he plays, he is taken off; it’s been three times he has not been part of the starting line-up and always on the substitute bench.
“Defensively, he has added that to his game as well, but for whatever reason, he still feels that he is not getting the trust and respect that he deserves from his head coach”.
Vinicius has 18 months left in his contract and could look to leave in January. Asked if Vinicius Junior was to go, what are his options? “ I don’t think he’s got very many options. I mean “ says Kaveh Solhekol
He added,” The problem is he’s such a good player and he earns so much money. There are very, very few clubs that could afford the overall package to sign him. He will be out of contract in the summer of 2027. There have been lots of talks that he’s going to sign a new contract “
Reporters also link him to a move to Saudi Arabian club Al Ahly with the transfer fee rumored to be around £300 million, which will be a record breaking fee.
