At the end of last month, Vinicius told Real Madrid president - Florentino Perez, he would not extend due to the huge conflict with captain Xabi Alonso.
Vinicius' contract with Los Blancos will expire in June 2027, the extension was carried out since January this year but has not yet reached a result due to the two sides not reaching an agreement.
At that time, Real Madrid offered a contract with a salary of 20 million Euros/year after tax.
This is a very high number compared to the average of Los Blancos, but Vinicius still did not accept it. The 25-year-old striker's representative wants the investor to receive the same number as Ronaldo (about 30 million Euros/year after tax).
This includes a basic salary, performance bonus and contract extension bonus, which had not previously been applied to players at the Bernabeu.
In the context of negotiations entering a deadlock and the players do not want fans to think that just for money, the relationship with Xabi Alonso could be put in as a card of Vinicius on the negotiation table, thereby somewhat distracting the media.
The climax of the conflict between Vinicius and Alonso came in the most recent El Clasico match. The Brazilian striker showed a regional attitude when he was substituted and almost threw himself in the tunnel.
According to international media, since the start of the new season, the tension between Vinicius and Alonso has begun to flare up and get worse. Now, it is a topic discussed every week of the club.
In the 0-4 loss to PSG at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Xabi Alonso initially intended to give Vinicius a reserve. Trent Alexander- Arnold was then suddenly injured, leading to the Spaniard having to patch him carelessly.
Vinicius started but played on the left wing. After that match, the Brazilian striker thought he was not fairly judged by the head coach.
After showing his attitude in the El Clasico match, Vinicius apologized to fans, the president, teammates and the coaching staff but did not mention coach Xabi Alonso. Even when appearing at the training ground, Vinicius also apologized directly to his teammates but did not include Alonso even though the Spanish coach was there.
As for himself, Xabi Alonso always said that there was no conflict between him and Vinicius. However, when asked too much in recent weeks, the 44-year-old strategist began to feel depressed and tired.
Real Madrid's board are not surprised by the stars' collisions with coaches. This is something that Mr. Perez has witnessed many times in the past, but this time he and his colleagues felt quite uneasy.
The reason is that Los Blancos have just entered a new era with many big goals. With the world's number 1 striker Kylian Mbappe, the board is very serious about winning all titles. If the team's internal budget is unstable in Xabi Alonso's first season in charge, all plans will be ruined.
On a personal level, president Florentino Perez is very affectionate with Vinicius, as evidenced by the fact that he has appeared many times with the Brazilian striker, especially right after Vinicius was discriminated against.
However, no matter how good the relationship between the two is, it is impossible for boss Perez to take negative action against Xabi Alonso in the context of the team still playing well.
Therefore, owner Perez and the head of the scouting department, Juni Calafat, are expected to be the key to healing the relationship between Xabi Alonso and Vinicius Jr.
This team hopes that if Real Madrid's performance continues to be good in the coming time, especially winning the Champions League, everything will be resolved as quickly as possible.
