SHOCK REVEALED: WHY VINICIUS JR’S "WEIRD" INSTAGRAM POST CONFIRMS A REAL MADRID MELTDOWN
Vinicius Jr sparks Real Madrid chaos with a cryptic social media post after being booed during the Sevilla win.
Real Madrid is dealing with even more drama now that Brazilian star Vinicius Junior posted something weird on social media.
Even though Real Madrid beat Sevilla 2-0 at home on Saturday, grabbing their third win in a row, manager Xabi Alonso is still getting heat because their plays aren't very convincing.
Madrid blew a five-point lead over Barcelona at the top of La Liga. Plus, there's tension behind the scenes that isn't helping Alonso, who just took over in June after leaving Bayer Leverkusen. One big problem during Alonso's time has been his relationship with key players like Vinicius.
Earlier this season during El Clasico, the 25-year-old got upset when he was taken out of the game and stormed off the field. Vinicius later apologized to his teammates, the club, and president Florentino Perez but noticeably left out Alonso.
The Brazilian player, who hasn't scored since early October, was booed by Real's own fans when he was subbed out against Sevilla.
Vinicius responded on Instagram, posting two pictures from the game with the caption: ... He also changed his profile picture to one of him wearing a Brazil jersey, and he was wearing the captain's armband.
After the game, Alonso was asked about the boos and said, "The fans can say what they want, and this game was tough."
I value the team's current situation, and with this break, we're going to rest up and come back with some excitement.
Even with only 10 men in the second half, Sevilla still gave Real a hard time.
A header from Jude Bellingham and a late penalty kick from Kylian Mbappe helped Alonso's team win. Now they have a two-week break.
January will be a big month for Real. They have a Spanish Super Cup semifinal game against Atletico Madrid in Saudi Arabia and potentially a final against either Barcelona or Athletic Bilbao.
Real Madrid will also get a chance to lock in their spot in the Champions League knockout stages.
We're going to have some time to look at things and think. Alonso added. It was a tricky situation.
We know we can play better, and we want to start the new year strong. The main thing was to win. Some things haven't gone as planned. Considering where we started and these wins... we now need to get better.
WHY AC MILAN ARE TURNING TO REAL MADRID’S BACKUP ANDRIY LUNIN TO REPLACE MIKE MAIGNAN
AC Milan is preparing a €15M bid for Andriy Lunin. Discover why the Real Madrid keeper is now the favourite to take over at San Siro.
AC Milan might go after Andriy Lunin from Real Madrid this summer, according to Defensa Central. Apparently, Milan is having trouble getting Mike Maignan to sign a new contract.
So, Lunin is high on their list as a possible replacement. He did sign a deal to stay with Real Madrid until 2030, but Milan is still watching him while things with Maignan are up in the air.
Reportedly, Milan gave Maignan a final offer of €7 million per season, but he's not sure about it. Because of this, the club is now scouting for other options.
If Maignan leaves, Milan's bosses plan to offer between €10 million and €15 million for Lunin. They think that's a fair price for a keeper with his experience.
Real Madrid usually doesn't do winter transfers. The club has already said they won't sell anyone in January, except for loaning Endrick to Lyon. So, they won't even think about a deal for Lunin until the season is over.
Lunin turned down offers from Turkish clubs last summer to compete for his spot at Real Madrid. The chance to start every week at Milan could change his mind. At 26, he's currently Courtois' backup. A move in 2026 could give him the playing time he wants. Manchester United was also interested in Lunin last summer, so there'll be plenty of teams after him.
Why Real Madrid Should Ask for More or Keep Lunin
Lunin showed what he's capable of when he filled in for Courtois. He has the skills to play at the highest level. He saved Real Madrid many times, including in important Champions League games. Because of his input, his value has increased.
The rumoured price of €10 million to €15 million seems too low. Lunin was key to Real Madrid's defence for most of the 2023/24 season. Real Madrid should ask for way more if they decide to sell. If not, they should keep him as a backup in case Courtois gets hurt again.
Selling him for that little would be a mistake. It’s almost impossible to find another backup as good as him for that price these days. It's hard to keep a keeper who wants to be the number one, but Xabi Alonso thinks having a deep squad is very important.
Real Madrid needs to think about the money versus the risk on the field. Letting a talent like Lunin go for cheap would be a bad move. Madrid should keep him unless Milan makes a much better offer. Having two top-notch goalkeepers creates a sense of security that money can't often buy.
MARKET REPORT: WHY CHELSEA IS SUDDENLY THE FAVORITE TO RESIGN ANTONIO RüDIGER
Antonio Rüdiger is considering a shock return to Chelsea as Real Madrid pause contract talks. Read why Xabi Alonso is hesitant.
Word on the street is that Antonio Rudiger might head back to Chelsea. The Real Madrid player is thinking about coming back to the Premier League. His deal with Real Madrid runs out in 2026, and he hasn't agreed to a new one yet. There's talk he might leave next summer and maybe even team up with Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.
Contract Talks On Hold
Back in November, Marca said that Rudiger and Real Madrid started talking about a new contract, but those talks are on pause now. His current contract is up at the end of the season. They started talking months ago, threw some numbers around, and both sides seemed to want a deal.
But they stopped talking after Rudiger hurt his muscle in September. They decided it wasn't right to make a deal while he was getting better.
Back to Chelsea?
Rudiger played for Chelsea for five years, winning a Champions League title, before moving to Real Madrid in 2022. Now, he might go back to Chelsea. There are rumours that Chelsea wants him back next summer, according to Diario AS.
Also, Paris Saint-Germain is interested, and Galatasaray is watching what's happening with him in Madrid.
Besides Europe, he's also wanted in Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are thinking about trying to get him next year.
What Alonso Thinks
BILD said in October that Xabi Alonso, the Madrid boss, isn't totally sold on Rudiger. He thinks Rudiger has been getting injured too much and hasn't been playing consistently. Also, Dean Huijsen, who joined in the summer, has been playing great and has already won a starting spot. Huijsen and Eder Militao have been a solid pair in the back, but Militao got hurt recently.
Madrid Might Not Sign Two Defenders
Even with Rudiger's future up in the air, AS says that Madrid isn't looking to sign two defenders anymore. They were looking at Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool and Dayot Upamecano from Bayern Munich. Both of those guys might leave their clubs since they're in the last six months of their contracts.
There were reports that Real Madrid wasn't interested in Konate because he hadn't been playing well lately. They might still move next summer, but it probably won't be to Real Madrid.
Alonso's team plays Real Betis at home on January 4 after the winter break.
