Vinicius Jr.'s Future Sparks Debate at Real Madrid

During Real Madrid's recent match against Sevilla, Vinicius Jr. was booed by fans as he left the field. This incident was followed by a change in his social media profile picture, from a Real Madrid jersey to a Brazilian national team jersey.

In a related development, a poll conducted by Spanish newspaper Marca, involving over 100,000 voters, revealed that 86% believe the player should be sold. Meanwhile, 7% preferred to keep him and extend his contract, while another 7% attributed his decline in form to a difficult period.

Vinicius Jr.'s contract with Real Madrid runs until June 2027, but renewal negotiations have stalled due to economic disagreements. Performance-wise, the player has played a total of 61 matches in 2025, scoring 13 goals. His last two goals came in a single match against Villarreal on October 4, followed by at least 14 consecutive matches without scoring. For comparison, he scored 32 goals in 2024 and 19 goals in 2023.

Commenting on the situation, Xavi stated, "The public is sovereign and free to express its opinion."
