Vinícius Júnior is reportedly contemplating a shock departure from Real Madrid amid escalating tension with manager Xabi Alonso, MySportDab Reports.
According to reports from Spain, the Brazilian forward feels increasingly alienated and frustrated by his role under Alonso, believing the coach “does not like him.”
The relationship between the two has been strained throughout the season, but Vinícius’ frustrations boiled over during Sunday’s El Clásico.
The 25-year-old reacted furiously to being substituted in the second half, shouting *“Always me! I’m leaving the team!”* before storming down the tunnel — a moment that quickly went viral.
Although he later celebrated the win on social media, Spanish outlet **AS** insists the issue runs much deeper than a single outburst.
Vinícius, who has just 18 months remaining on his current deal, is said to be unhappy with his diminished attacking role and the lack of recognition for his defensive work — something Alonso demanded during preseason.
Talks over a contract extension have stalled, adding further uncertainty to his future.
The forward also reportedly feels disrespected by the disparity between his salary and that of teammate Kylian Mbappé.
While Real Madrid are prepared to match Mbappé’s base wage, the Frenchman’s lucrative signing-on bonus means his total earnings far exceed Vinícius’.
Sources close to the club claim Alonso plans to hold private talks with Vinícius in an attempt to calm tensions.
However, ESPN reports the winger’s relationship with the manager has already deteriorated significantly since El Clásico.
Though Real Madrid are not considering selling him in January, the coming months could prove decisive.
Unless the situation improves, Vinícius Júnior — long viewed as the face of Madrid’s future — may be forced to consider his options away from the Santiago Bernabéu.
