Tuesday, October 28, 2025 - Vinicius Junior is ‘seriously considering’ the prospect of leaving Real Madrid as he feels he does not have the ‘respect’ of his coach Xabi Alonso, according to explosive reports in Spain.
The 25-year-old Brazilian winger is widely regarded to be
among the most exciting attacking talents in European football, having helped
Madrid win 14 pieces of silverware since arriving at the Bernabeu back in 2018.
But there have been growing tension between Vinicius and
Alonso over recent weeks and the situation reached boiling point
during Madrid’s Clasico 2 -1 victory over Barcelona at the weekend.
After starting on the bench for Madrid’s previous league
clash with Getafe, Vinicius was recalled to Alonso’s XI as goals
from Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham sealed the win over
their bitter rivals.
During the substitution, Vinicius stormed straight down the
tunnel after in the 72nd minute.
‘Me? Me? Mister, mister! Me?’ Vinicius was heard
yelling in Alonso’s direction as the fourth official showed his No.7 on the
board.
As he approached the bench, Vinicius is alleged to have
said, ‘Always me! I’m leaving the team! I’m leaving, I’d better go!’, before
making his way straight for the home dressing room.
According to Madrid-based newspaper AS, the three-time
La Liga winner thinks his ‘status isn’t respected’ by Alonso and ‘the option of
leaving’ is now ‘being seriously considered’.
Vinicius, the 2024 Ballon d’Or runner-up is
increasingly adamant that Alonso ‘doesn’t like him’ and the deteriorating
relationship between player and manager is fast becoming a ‘massive problem’
for the club.
However, it’s claimed Madrid’s hierarchy remains fully
supportive of the way Alonso has handled Vinicius, and are prepared to back any
decision the Spaniard makes with the superstar forward.
