Report: Vinicius reveals he does not want to play where he is unwanted as tensions with Real Madrid intensify

Vinicius Junior’s relationship with the Real Madrid faithful appears to be at a breaking point after weeks of growing hostility at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Brazilian forward has now reportedly made his feelings clear amid an increasingly uncertain future in the Spanish capital.

Vinicius has endured a torrid spell with Real Madrid supporters, having been booed in three consecutive home matches. The situation reached a new low during Saturday’s win over Levante, where the 25-year-old was targeted relentlessly throughout the game.

Although he was not the only player to face jeers, the reaction towards Vinicius was noticeably louder whenever he was on the ball, underlining the frustration of the match-going fans with his recent performances.

The winger has struggled to rediscover his best form, and the Bernabeu crowd made their dissatisfaction unmistakably clear.

According to reports from El Periodico, via Sport, Vinicius took the reaction to heart. In the aftermath of the Levante match, he reportedly told members of his entourage that he “doesn’t want to play in a place where the supporters don’t want me,” a statement that highlights the emotional toll of the current situation.

Vinicius’ comments come at a delicate time, with his long-term future at Real Madrid still far from settled, despite Xabi Alonso’s exit.

The Brazil international has less than 18 months remaining on his contract, and while negotiations over a renewal are expected to resume, the lack of backing from sections of the fanbase could influence his thinking.

Should a summer exit become a real possibility, Vinicius is unlikely to be short of suitors. Clubs in Saudi Arabia have maintained long-standing interest, while Premier League heavyweights such as Manchester City and Chelsea have also been linked with him over the past year.

For now, Vinicius remains focused on turning his fortunes around at the Bernabeu, but the coming months could prove decisive in determining whether his future still lies in Madrid or elsewhere.
