Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior is reportedly postponing renewing his contract with the club, awaiting a decision regarding coach Xabi Alonso.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to Fabrizio Romano.
According to him, the conflict between the coach and the player stems from the Brazilian footballer's reaction to being substituted in the La Liga match against Barcelona on October 26, 2025.
"The relationships between Xabi and some players have been tense for several months. We all saw what happened in the first 'El Clasico' of the first half of the season. Real Madrid beat Barcelona in that match, but we all remember Vinicius Junior's reaction.
After that, Xabi Alonso tried to fix his relationship with him and find common ground. But if you remember, I was talking about Vinicius's new contract with Real Madrid. In this situation, the player was waiting to see what would happen with Xabi Alonso. So, the story with Vinicius was the starting point," Romano said in a YouTube broadcast.
