Relations between Vinicius Jr. and his Spanish coach Xabi Alonso have become strained, which has raised the possibility of the Brazilian player leaving in the upcoming winter transfer window, especially as he insists on a salary comparable to that of his French teammate Kylian Mbappé, according to the Goal website. Negotiations to renew Vinicius Jr.'s contract have taken a crucial turn after the Brazilian lowered his financial demands, which had stalled talks for over two years. The player felt that his value had diminished. How did the crisis reach its peak? Talks have been at a standstill since 2023 when the club offered Vinicius around 20 million euros per year, while his agent demanded 30 million, arguing that his role in the attack places him in the tier of the highest-paid stars.
