Vinicius Junior Reportedly Considering Real Madrid Exit
Tension appears to be rising in the Real Madrid camp as reports suggest that Vinicius Junior is seriously considering leaving the club after an emotional moment during Sunday’s El Clasico victory over Barcelona.
According to multiple Spanish outlets, including Goal, the Brazilian forward became visibly frustrated after being substituted late in the game, which ended 2-1 in favour of Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Witnesses say the 25-year-old winger shouted, “Always me!” towards his manager, Xabi Alonso, before angrily adding, “I’m leaving the team. It’s better I go.” His outburst reportedly came from feeling unfairly targeted for substitution in high-profile matches, despite being one of Madrid’s key attacking threats.
Emotional Outburst Sparks Exit Speculation
Vinicius, who has been a vital player for Real Madrid in recent seasons, stormed down the tunnel immediately after being replaced but later returned to the bench a few minutes later. His emotional reaction did not go unnoticed by fans and the media, sparking widespread speculation about his future at Real Madrid.
Sources close to the player claim Vinicius has been frustrated by recent tactical decisions and believes he’s being made the scapegoat in certain matches. The winger reportedly feels he deserves more respect and freedom on the pitch, considering his contributions to the club’s success over the past few years.
