Vinicius raises concern at Real Madrid and Mourinho faces a tough decision

Vinicius Junior's level has become a concern within Real Madrid, as the Brazilian player has strayed from the expected standard, despite renewing his contract with the club until 2032 last summer.

According to "Mundo Deportivo", Real Madrid sees renewing Vinicius Junior's contract, which expires in 2027, as one of its major successes in the transfer market, especially after the player was linked with a potential move to Arsenal.

However, the club's expectations have not been reflected on the pitch, as Vinicius Junior has been unable to regain his best form, despite the confidence that José Mourinho has given him and his inclusion as a starter in all matches.

Real Madrid fans continue to direct boos at Vinicius during the team's matches at the Santiago Bernabéu, while even some of his defenders have begun to demand that he be given a place on the bench.

According to "Mundo Deportivo", the management of Real Madrid is aware of what is happening, and a state of concern and doubts has begun due to the lack of understanding of the reasons behind the player's decline in performance. At the same time, Vinicius has the support of his teammates in the dressing room.

The decision now lies with Mourinho, who will determine Vinicius Junior's position in the starting lineup when LaLiga returns on October 10 against Villarreal. Diomande stands out as an option to replace him, having transformed from a player who raised doubts at the beginning of the season to one of the names that enjoys support from Real Madrid fans to play in the same position.
