With Mbappe, I forgot about Vinicius, Real Madrid s operation is incomprehensible

The peace of the Bernabeu is broken, and the protagonist is Vinicius. The contract renewal negotiations have reached a deadlock, and the former honeymoon period has come to an end overnight.

All this started with the arrival of new coach Xavi Alonso. Vinicius took the initiative to sacrifice from the beginning of the season, accepted the coach's tactical requirements, and was willing to devote more energy to defense. But what he got was a result that surprised him. He was no longer the absolute main force who could not be beaten.

The data will not lie

Vinicius, who was beaten by the new coach, has his performance really declined? On the contrary, objective data continues to provide the most powerful support for the on-field contribution of Brazilian geniuses.

This season, the team maintained a complete victory in the three games he started. In his substitute game, he was also the key to turning the situation around. Whether it was a away game against Oviedo or a goal to kill Marseille in the focus of attention, he proved himself.

Looking at the macro data, his efficiency this season is almost exactly the same as in the past four seasons. 24 goals and 9 assists in the 2024-25 season, 23 goals and 19 assists in the 2023-24 season... This series of gorgeous data tells the fact that Vinicius' talent and state are still top-notch. Since there is no problem with the competitive level, what exactly is the problem? The answer pointed to the cold negotiating table.

Vinitius and Real Madrid's contract renewal negotiations were intervened after the Club World Cup and pressed the pause button. Before this, the two sides had almost reached a financial agreement. At the last meeting in Madrid, the Brazilian even drastically lowered his initial salary requirements. You know, his initial expectations may be as much as five times the club's offer. But in order to stay in Real Madrid, he chose to compromise.

Seeing that the signing of the contract was close, everything was stagnant at the last moment. Behind this is the tactical consideration of the new coach or the change in attitude of the club's senior management, which has become an insolvent Rashomon.

Big Club Game

Now, players and clubs are in a tense confrontation, a coward game to see who blinks first.

Vinitius has made it clear that he wants to stay at Real Madrid to win more championships. The chips in his hands cannot be ignored: the contract expires in 2027, which means he has the initiative in negotiations. If the club continues to delay, it will face huge risks of losing both people and money.

, while Real Madrid seems extremely calm and even a little cold. They tend to wait and see. Perhaps in their opinion, Vinicius was not as important to Xavi Alonso as he was in Ancelotti's time. The club hopes to use time to test everything before deciding whether to give him a sky-high-priced long-term contract that will lock him up for the next five years. The result of this game will be announced in the next two or three months. If Vinicius's appearance pick continues to decline, his market value will undoubtedly be damaged. A angry and disappointed Vinicius does not rule out the possibility of leaving the team in the winter transfer window.

It should be noted that the Brazilian has won everything in Real Madrid and he doesn't need to prove anything more. At present, although Saudi Arabia's sky-high checks are not within his consideration, the Premier League and Paris have not taken action yet. But no one can guarantee what kind of turmoil will cause when it actually flows into the market.
