Sources close to Brazilian star Vinicius Junior's camp revealed their conviction that recent decisions regarding the player came directly from Xabi Alonso himself, without any intervention from Real Madrid's management.

The Brazilian star had expressed his strong anger after being substituted in the Clasico against Barcelona (2-1) during the tenth round of the Spanish league at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The source added that negotiations to renew Vinicius's contract, which currently runs until 2027, have recently stalled amid a state of tension between the two parties.

Cortigana pointed out that the atmosphere behind the scenes at the club has clearly been divided for some time between those who criticize Vinicius's actions and behavior on the field, and those who defend him and explain his behavior.

The source concluded that after the events of the Clasico, it has now developed into a direct conflict between Vinicius and Xabi Alonso, which may cast a shadow over the player's relationship with the club in the upcoming period.
