Real Madrid is dealing with the fallout from its disappointing 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday at the Club World Cup, which ended its run in the tournament in the semi-finals. And part of that fallout concerns Vinicius Junior.

Real Madrid were reportedly unimpressed with Vinicius's on-field performance, leading to a sanction. This could now have repercussions for his future at the Santiago Bernabeu.

In recent months, Real Madrid have been trying to secure a new contract with Vinicius, who has attracted considerable interest from Saudi clubs. There were reports that an agreement had been reached, with the idea being to sign him later this summer, but that no longer appears to be the case.

According to El Chiringuito, the situation is now at an impasse. Real Madrid have not yet reached an agreement with Vinicius regarding the finalization of his new contract, which the player himself is in no rush to sign.

Vinicius' future at Real Madrid is no longer assured

Real Madrid are expected to continue relying on Vinicius despite a poor run over the past 12 months, but Kylian Mbappé has replaced him as the club's star player. And it's possible that the situation will change as a result.

This could become a very worrying situation for Real Madrid, who certainly do not want to lose Vinicius at a reduced price, something they may be forced to consider if this situation continues without a signed contract. For now, there is no need to panic, but that could change if the situation continues for at least another 6 to 12 months.
