Real Madrid Coach Ready to Make Major Decision Over PSG-Linked Star | OneFootball

Vinicius Júnior’s situation at Real Madrid has grown more complicated, and PSG are watching closely to see where it goes. When the 2025-26 season ends, he will be down to one year on a contract that expires in June 2027.

That puts Real Madrid in a spot where they need to act. They can push for an extension soon or consider a summer transfer rather than risk losing him for nothing.

Kylian Mbappé’s arrival last year adds another layer, since the club may view this as a moment to cash in on Vinicius Júnior and reshape the attack around the former PSG standout.

SPORT has reported that Vinicius Júnior would be open to working with Luis Enrique in Paris. How it plays out is still uncertain, though Mbappé may see shades of Neymar Júnior’s departure from Spain.

Journalist Carlos Fité said on “El Chiringuito de Jugones” (h/t Fichajes) that there is an “irreversible” situation between the Basque coach and the talented attacker, according to the show’s reporting. The reported tension has created a deep divide within the squad.

It is being reported that a sizable group in the locker room have turned against the Spanish coach, adding even more strain to an already fragile moment. The need to beat Manchester City is described as tied not only to sporting stakes but also to Xabi Alonso’s job security. Reports say the coach feels the club’s leadership has not given him the support he expected.

According to those cited in the report, the requirement to start the Brazilian winger was an institutional directive. The Spanish coach reportedly does not see the winger fitting into his plans and believes the player’s inclusion hurts the team’s overall dynamic.
