Edu Aguirre announces Vinícius Jr.'s anger, it affects his future: 'With Mbappé, no...'

Real Madrid's participation in the Club World Cup is leaving multiple angles for analysis in every sense. One of the most striking is the forwards' performance: without Kylian Mbappé, who is still recovering from the acute gastroenteritis he suffered a few days ago, it's his teammates who must provide goals.

One of the most outstanding in that regard is Gonzalo García. Real Madrid's "30", top scorer of Primera RFEF during the previous season, has Xabi Alonso's trust... and he doesn't seem to have disappointed the standards set by the Basque strategist in the matches against Al-Hilal and Pachuca.

Another player under the spotlight is Vinícius Jr. Many expected Real Madrid's "7" verdeamarelo to finally leave behind his poor performance from the 24/25 season with the Tolosa manager, something that hasn't completely happened. He remains very far from the best version that all the white supporters have seen.

The name of the Carioca footballer is one of the most striking issues at Real Madrid right now due to the information handled by Edu Aguirre. The journalist from "El Chiringuito de Jugones" pointed out the version offered by the Brazilian player's entourage, a truly striking comparison.

Nobody expected it

The entourage of Real Madrid's "7" "believes the player is in a worse position than Kylian Mbappé and the rest of the team". Those claims would be based on the sudden loss of prominence the player has suffered, certainly linked to the drop in his recent performance on the field (campo).

According to Edu Aguirre, those closest to Vinícius Jr. keep pointing to Kylian Mbappé as the basis for their comments about the situation the São Gonçalo striker would be going through. The South American winger's close circle considers "that the club isn't protecting him", despite all the measures that have been taken from the Valdebebas offices.

This comment from Vinícius Jr.'s entourage would reignite a controversy that had been quite under control until now: the competition between the Carioca striker and Kylian Mbappé. Their relationship during last season seemed to be on good terms, so that assessment is an observation that also takes everyone in the Merengue leadership by surprise.

If the situation continues along these same lines, Vinícius's future could well be affected. Not many at the white club want such an outcome, especially when they are so close to achieving his contract renewal beyond the summer of 2027. It could also mean the search for a offeror, both in elite soccer and in other leagues outside Europe, willing to invest a lot of money in his transfer.
