Vinicius Jr. disappointed after a missed opportunity with Real Madrid. Raphaël Nouet, November 24, 2025. Vinicius Jr. reportedly has no intention of extending his contract unless Xabi Alonso is sacked. But Real Madrid, for its part, has no desire to extend the Brazilian winger's contract on its terms. This is the big news of the day in the football world: in conflict with Xabi Alonso, Vinicius Jr. has reportedly informed the Real Madrid management that there is no question of him extending his contract if the former midfielder remains. The Brazilian is fed up with his coach's extreme strictness, who imposes long video sessions on his players and wants to control what they do off the pitch. Furthermore, he resents Alonso for systematically substituting him in every match while Kylian Mbappé stays until the end. In short, Real Madrid must choose: Vinicius Jr. or Xabi Alonso.

No agreement for an extension

But Romain Molina raises a major concern tonight: Vinicius Jr.'s contract extension is far from a done deal! There's still a huge gap between what Real Madrid is offering in salary (increasing from €18 million to €20 million annually) and what the player wants (€30 million, like Mbappé). Despite the Brazilian's agents trying to claim otherwise, the investigative journalist is adamant: Vinicius Jr. has no other offers. No European club is willing to pay him such a salary. His threat is therefore futile since there's no agreement… Nevertheless, the Spanish media agree that most of the key players in the Madrid dressing room are already fed up with Xabi Alonso's methods. Either the manager changes his approach, or he risks being sacked, regardless of Vinicius Jr.'s blackmail.
