Trouble brews between Real Madrid and Vinicius Jr!

Since Xabi Alonso took over as Real Madrid’s head coach this summer, Vinicius Jr is no longer the team’s marquee star. His spot in the starting lineup is even under threat—he began on the bench against OM in the Champions League, and showed his frustration after being subbed off against Espanyol Barcelona in La Liga. With his contract extension far from settled and a meeting planned between club management and his representatives, the striker is reportedly "disappointed and let down" by the current talks over his future, according to Cadena Cope.

The Spanish outlet reports that the Brazilian believes he deserves more, both in terms of salary and his role within the squad. Spanish radio adds that Real Madrid’s contract offers have rekindled a sense of dissatisfaction in the player, who feels his value and performances are sometimes underestimated.
