Shock at Real Madrid: the Vinícius case takes an unexpected turn

Huge twist in the Vinícius Júnior saga

Real Madrid has decided to take action to secure the future of Vinícius Júnior. Despite a lackluster first half of the season, marked by inconsistent playing time and several controversial decisions by Xabi Alonso, the Madrid management sees the Brazilian as a cornerstone of their long-term project.

An absolute priority in Madrid

According to information from Antón Meana, renewing Vinícius Júnior's contract is now a top priority for the Merengues' leadership. Florentino Pérez and his inner circle believe the player hasn't received full support from his coach and that his performances have suffered more from questionable tactical management than any real lack of form. The Madrid hierarchy still views him as the attacking face of the future, capable of leading the post-Benzema era and continuing the tradition of superstar talent at the Bernabéu.

The Brazilian, under contract until 2027, could be offered a new deal with a salary increase to fend off persistent interest from abroad. Internally, Real wants to put an end to all speculation, especially after mixed performances against Rayo Vallecano and Liverpool, which reignited tensions around Alonso’s decisions.

Despite these turbulent times, Real Madrid remains at the top of La Liga, three points clear of their closest rival. And while confidence in the coach may be wavering, the faith in Vinícius remains unshaken. At 25, the Brazilian is still considered a key figure in Madrid’s future—a symbol of continuity and strength for a team that, now more than ever, is looking to rebuild around its golden generation.
