Vinicius Jr has recently been in the spotlight for a circumstance that is not totally to his liking: his new position in the Real Madrid squad under Xabi Alonso.
The 24-year-old Brazilian international is no longer a certain starter, having been pulled out of the starting lineup twice in the first six games of the season.
Vinicius is furious over the incident, which erupted following his substitution against Espanyol this weekend.
All of this has been taking place against the backdrop of stalled renewal negotiations between the player and the club.
Real Madrid will not adjust its existing offer for Vinicius.
According to MARCA, on Monday morning, Vinicius’ agent Frederico Pena met with Jose Angel Sanchez in Valdebebas to assess the situation surrounding the forward.
While some accounts claim that the meeting did not take place, MARCA believes that discussions about his position occurred.

Vinicius has been, is, and will continue to be a standout member of the Real Madrid side. The club has continuously backed him, and will continue to do so.
However, the club’s stance on the renewal is firm. Vinicius is already aware that a contract renewal offer is on the table, but nothing will change in the coming weeks.
Given the Brazilian’s remaining 20 months, there is little need for concern, but the situation is unsettling, especially given that the agreement was expected to have finalized six months ago.
Vinicius’ team has been pushing for a big improvement on Los Blancos’ offered conditions, but the club has stated that no modifications will be made.
Precedents
It is easy to recall what happened to players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos during contract negotiations at Real Madrid.
The situations are not identical, as Vinicius is at his peak in terms of age, while the aforementioned legends were well into their thirties.
The club acknowledges this, but also values the significance of having a clear salary hierarchy inside the locker room.
