🚨 Vinicius stalls talks, Xabi Alonso targeted! (The Athletic)

The bombshell!

Thunderbolt in the football world this Monday afternoon.

The very reputable and well-informed English media outlet, The Athletic, reports that Vinicius has informed Florentino Pérez that he does not wish to extend his contract at Real Madrid as long as his relationship with his coach, Xabi Alonso, does not improve!

A real pressure move reported by The Athletic, as numerous reports from Spain over the past few weeks have indicated a clear and significant deterioration in the relationship between the young Spanish coach and his locker room.

As a reminder, during the Clásico on October 26, Vinicius had expressed his anger towards Xabi Alonso when the latter decided to substitute him twenty minutes before the end.

Since then, the relationship between the two men has reportedly continued to deteriorate.

Vinicius's contract expires in June 2027.

Negotiations for his extension are currently at a standstill, according to The Athletic.
