Vinicius Junior’s continuity is one of the issues being debated by Real Madrid fans and the press who follow the club on a daily basis. The Brazilian has not yet renewed his contract, although everything indicates that he will, and his performances this season have been inconsistent. Against Alaves, he scored a good goal and then apologized to the Bernabeu.

After the match, Juanfe Sanz clearly showed his opinion about Vinicius on El Chiringuito, and pointed him out as the main cause of the problems in the Real Madrid dressing room. “I am firmly convinced that the best decision for Real Madrid is to sell this player. Because on the day of the match against Barcelona, he created an internal division in the dressing room, took power and no one stopped him,” he explained.

“Today’s message is his way of admitting his mistakes, but I think he has already exhausted all his opportunities. Real Madrid kept him in the team because of his good performance; that was the price the club paid for his behaviour,” he said.

“When he was playing well, he was forgiven for certain actions, but when things went wrong, I think the balance tipped towards much more negative behaviour. I think in light of these failed seasons, decisive action is needed,” he reasoned.
