Big problem for Xabi Alonso: not even his best signing fixes it and Florentino takes action

Crisis in the white locker room, Vinícius explodes

Xabi Alonso has encountered a major problem in the white locker room; not even the great start to the season with six consecutive victories has been able to prevent it. The main protagonist is the Brazilian forward Vinícius who, once again, is in the spotlight. The Brazilian winger is starting to feel very upset and unhappy at Bernabéu because of everything happening around him.

A new gesture from the Brazilian once again sparked discussion within the Merengue team. Vinícius left the field upset against Kairat in the Champions League. Although the explanation pointed to coach Xabi Alonso, this time the controversy fell on his teammates. Vinícius was not angry about the technical decision to substitute him but about how certain attacking plays unfolded in which he felt ignored.

The Brazilian reproached several actions by Arda Guler, and the tension kept increasing until it reached a peak with a play by the young Argentine Mastantuono. The substitution made the Brazilian finally explode, and he left the field visibly fired up. This has not been an easy start to the season for the Brazilian, given the constant criticism he receives both on and off the field.

Vinícius and his future at Real Madrid

The Carioca forward is starting to feel very tired, considering that he is always under scrutiny. He knows that any gesture he makes will be talked about. The player attracts a large amount of all the controversies and problems arising at the club. His future at Bernabéu is starting to be in doubt, creating a situation of total uncertainty.

Meanwhile, negotiations for his contract renewal are at a standstill, with no progress in recent months. The high demands that the forward has reportedly set have upset Florentino Pérez, who doesn't want to give in to his requests. Vinícius wants to be the highest paid in the squad and demands the same salary as the Frenchman Mbappé.

Vinícius feels cheated and undervalued

The Brazilian player feels cheated by his president, who had assured him that he would always be the best and most valued. Mbappé's arrival has changed everything, and Vinícius has not been able to cope with the situation. His contract ends in 2027, and considering the tension the issue generates in the locker room, no option is ruled out.

If there is no renewal in the coming months, the club could declare him transferable and put him on the market. His departure would solve the issue of tensions in the locker room and the standoff the Brazilian keeps with several of his teammates. Xabi Alonso faces a difficult challenge, as he will have to try to ensure it doesn't affect the team's performance.
