Vinicius Junior Frustrated Over Real Madrid Contract Talks

Vinícius Júnior, under contract until 2027, is reportedly annoyed with stalled Real Madrid negotiations despite lowering financial demands. Limited playing time under Xabi Alonso, never exceeding 78 minutes this season, adds to his frustration. Claims of a recent agent meeting were denied by the club. Alonso insists Viní Jr. is happy and contributing, with discussions not urgent.

In the latest developments at Real Madrid, Vinícius Júnior is reportedly “annoyed” with the slow progress of his contract renewal talks, despite his current deal running until 2027. The Brazilian winger has expressed a strong desire to remain at the Santiago Bernabéu long-term, even lowering his financial demands, but a 15% gap between his expectations and the club’s offer has left negotiations at a standstill.

His frustration is compounded by limited playing time under coach Xabi Alonso, with Viní Jr. yet to exceed 78 minutes in a match this season and missing starts against Marseille and Real Oviedo. Sources claim he feels “relegated” despite adapting to Alonso’s defensive instructions, which may have reduced his attacking impact. Reports that Vinícius’s agent, Frederico Pena, held a two-hour meeting at Valdebebas to discuss the contract have been denied by Real Madrid, noting that Pena regularly visits every two to three weeks for other players.

Alonso has publicly stated that Vinícius is happy and motivated, praising his contributions and emphasizing the collective team effort. The club maintains that contract negotiations are not urgent, as time remains on their side, while Vinícius continues to weigh his long-term future at Real Madrid amid growing external speculation.
