Vinicius Jr’s Real Madrid Future Darkens as Talks Freeze and Bernabéu Boos Grow

Contract talks are on hold until after the 2026 World Cup, heightening scrutiny of his next move.

Overview

  • Sections of the Bernabéu jeered Vinicius during the Sevilla win, after which he posted an ellipsis on Instagram and switched his profile photo to a Brazil image.
  • Negotiations over an extension remain stalled with no date to resume, leaving him 18 months from a 2027 contract expiry.
  • Spanish reports say he is now questioning whether to continue at Madrid as he feels part of the fanbase no longer supports him.
  • Club leaders still back him even as tensions with coach Xabi Alonso persist, while ex-director Predrag Mijatović says Madrid should sell if he seeks Mbappé- or Messi-level terms.
  • Transfer intermediaries have told Chelsea and Liverpool he would consider the Premier League, with other reports also linking top European clubs and the Saudi Pro League.
