Vinicius Jr’s Potential Sanction Now Rests in Xabi Alonso’s Hands

In addition to the Lamine Yamal situation, Vinicius Jr’s actions during the Clasico are causing a stir in Spain. The relationship between the Brazilian and Xabi Alonso has grown increasingly strained. Reports suggest that the player feels he has reached a breaking point, indicating his future in the Spanish capital may be uncertain, despite his contract lasting until 2027. Discussions about an extension have seemingly fallen by the wayside.

Despite this incident, the club management has decided not to sanction the winger, who performed well against Barcelona on Sunday, even after his comments directed at his coach. According to Cope, the club is deferring to Xabi Alonso to determine whether any punishment is warranted based on the outcome of their meeting scheduled for Wednesday. The coach may choose to take no action or consider suspending him for one or more matches.
