Real Madrid just made their stance on Vinícius Júnior’s contract crystal clear

In the few short months of the Xabi Alonso regime, there are many talking points about the team. The defense looks like an impenetrable wall, Kylian Mbappé is playing at the highest level of his career, and the team looks completely different than that of the dying days under Carlo Ancelotti.

One of the biggest talking points, however, has been the star of Real Madrid the last few years, we are of course talking about Vini Jr. The Brazilian has had a somewhat up-and-down first few months under the new manager, putting him in a different situation than he was previously used to.

It’s clear when watching Real Madrid so far this season that Vinícius Júnior is now the number two in attack behind Kylian Mbappé. The Brazilian has started games on the bench and often gets substituted late in the game, while Mbappé tends to play the full 90.

However, Vinícius is still a crucial member of the team and, as such, has been in talks with the club over a new contract for the last few months.

Since becoming the superstar we all know him as today, many has assumed that Vinícius will be a Real Madrid lifer for the rest of his career, however, according to recent reports from Spain, the stalling over contract talks is more important than many may guess.
