Vinícius Jr. Bets on Alonso’s Future: Real Madrid’s Next Move Unfolds in Quiet Drama

Overview

Fabrizio Romano, the transfer market expert, revealed crucial details about Vinícius Júnior's future at Real Madrid, confirming the Brazilian star was not eager to renew his contract until the fate of coach Xabi Alonso was decided.

Romano said on his YouTube channel that Vinícius Júnior did not want to renew his deal with Real Madrid until knowing whether Xabi Alonso would stay or leave.

Impact and Context

This revelation follows a seismic development at Real Madrid, with the club announcing that Xabi Alonso would depart by mutual consent after losing the Spanish Super Cup final to Barcelona 3-2 in Saudi Arabia.

According to AS, Alonso personally asked to leave Real Madrid on the night of the loss, a surprising move that upended the club's plans, and he stressed that the Clasico was not the sole reason for leaving but part of a broader view on the manager's longevity.

Romano's remarks help explain Vinícius Júnior's cautious approach to renewal, as the player waited for clarity on the tactical plan, especially given a tense relationship with Alonso.

Outlook

Real Madrid has officially appointed Álvaro Arbeloa as the new first team coach in a swift move designed to end speculation and restore stability in the dressing room.

In the coming days, decisive developments are expected in the Brazilian star's future, now that the coaching position is settled and the club can reopen renewal talks on new terms.

Punchline: In Madrid, patience is a virtue, but Vinícius seems to treat it as a full season pass with exclusive perks.

Punchline 2: Alonso may be gone, but the transfer saga is far from over; stay tuned for more twists than a soap opera at the Bernabéu.
