Paris Saint-Germain Emerges as Frontrunner for Real MadridS Vinicius, Player Considers Exit After Clásico Dispute

MADRID – Vinicius is weighing a departure from real Madrid following​ a reported altercation with manager Xabi Alonso during El Clásico, with Paris Saint-Germain emerging as a strong potential destination, according to Sport. the incident occurred in the 72nd minute when ‍Alonso substituted the brazilian forward, prompting a visibly upset⁤ Vinicius to head directly to the locker room.

Alonso reportedly instructed an assistant to retrieve Vinicius, stating, “Go look for him and have‍ him come back. Make it clear to him, either he goes back to the substitute bench right now or he’s going ⁤to play very little in what comes.” Vinicius eventually returned to‌ the bench and participated in a post-match scuffle with​ Barcelona players following Real ⁢Madrid’s victory.

While Vinicius subsequently downplayed the incident in comments to club media, sources indicate ‍he is ⁢now seriously considering leaving the Santiago Bernabéu. ‍He has two years remaining ⁤on ‌his current ​contract, ⁤which runs untill June 2027, but could seek a ‌transfer as early as ‌next summer to avoid the risk of​ Real Madrid being unable to secure a substantial transfer fee, potentially losing him as a free agent in 2028.

PSG, ⁤under the management of⁤ luis ⁤Enrique,‍ is reportedly highly interested in acquiring Vinicius. ⁢The ​Brazilian is‍ said to be receptive to ​the move,attracted by ‌the prospect to play under a manager with a proven Champions League track record – Enrique previously⁣ won the competition twice with Barcelona.

Vinicius previously rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia exceeding €200 million per season, prioritizing continued success at the highest level of European football. PSG appears to offer that⁣ platform, potentially allowing Vinicius‌ to continue his attacking prowess and compete for another Champions League title.

Real Madrid’s Endrick in Talks for Loan to Olympique ⁢Lyon

Madrid, Spain – Negotiations are underway for Real Madrid ​forward Endrick to‍ join Olympique Lyon on loan in January, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano.The move comes as the 17-year-old Brazilian expresses concern over a lack of playing time⁢ with Los Blancos and it’s potential impact on his inclusion in the 2026 World Cup.

Endrick,​ who arrived at Real Madrid this summer, has struggled for consistent minutes, a situation⁤ exacerbated by a hamstring injury⁢ and the arrival of coach ⁢xabi Alonso. He has yet to make an official debut under Alonso’s direction.

“To be honest, what’s most on my‌ mind is that I’m afraid of not being in the 2026 World Cup,” Endrick stated months ago. “I’m worried as my dream is to be in the World Cup… I’m honest, I’m scared.”

Romano reported via X (formerly⁣ Twitter) that Lyon has already presented a sports ⁤plan to both Real madrid and Endrick, with the player welcoming the possibility of a move to Ligue 1 to gain playing experience.

“It is very arduous to be in the best club in ⁢the world, with the best​ players in the world, and almost never play. I can’t continue ⁣like this…” Endrick admitted.

Real Madrid is reportedly ‍considering the loan as a way to allow Endrick to accumulate​ minutes while maintaining control ⁤over his long-term ‍growth. Lyon, seeking to bolster ‍its attack, views Endrick as a promising addition to its squad.
