Journalist Mario Cortegana revealed that Brazilian star Vinicius Junior has officially informed Real Madrid's management of his unwillingness to renew his contract due to ongoing tensions with head coach Xabi Alonso, who took charge of the team last summer.

According to the source, the player conveyed his message directly to President Florentino Pérez during a private meeting late last month, explaining that his relationship with the coach has reached a point where he cannot consider tying his long-term future to the club.

The source indicated that the relationship between the two parties has become increasingly tense since the team's loss to Paris Saint-Germain last July, when Alonso planned to exclude the player before bringing him on the right wing. Additionally, the player has been repeatedly left out of the starting lineup this season, having completed only 5 matches out of 17.

The source explained that after Real Madrid's 2-1 victory over Barcelona in the El Clásico on October 26, Vinícius went to Pérez to apologize for his reaction after being substituted in the 72nd minute by Alonso. He had left the field angrily, shouting, "It's always me, I'm going to leave the team, it's better if I go."

In the same meeting, the player's future was discussed, with Vinicius stating that he does not see renewing his contract as a suitable option given his current relationship with the coach. Since then, his stance has not changed.

Vinícius, whose contract runs until 2027, rejected an offer to raise his salary to 20 million euros per year and requested a historic contract worth up to 30 million euros, which has further complicated the negotiations. Sources confirm that sporting factors have become a bigger obstacle than financial ones.

Despite the club's attempts to calm the situation and show support for the player, concerns are growing within the management about the impact of the crisis on the locker room, especially given the deteriorating relationship between one of the team's star players and his coach.

While Real Madrid continues to support Alonso's coaching project, the management hopes that upcoming positive results will help repair the relationship and reopen the door for renewal negotiations.
