Vinícius Jr. Plays Full 90 and Delivers at Levante as Reports Point to Possible January Real Madrid Exit

Spanish reports say a winter move is being weighed after talks with club officials about his reduced role under Xabi Alonso.

Overview

  • The Brazilian scored, assisted and finished the match in Valencia, his first full 90 minutes of the season, with Kylian Mbappé taken off late.
  • Before the Levante game he had not completed a full match in Real Madrid’s first six outings, reflecting a diminished role since Xabi Alonso’s arrival.
  • Levante captain Unai Elgezabal criticized Vinícius for what he called disrespect during a second‑half flashpoint, referencing an off‑ball face touch.
  • El Chiringuito and other Spanish outlets report his entourage has met club directors and that a January departure is being considered if his status does not improve.
  • Host Josep Pedrerol claims Madrid will not push a renewal and could accept an exit even at a loss, though the player’s current deal runs through June 2027.
