According to Chosun, Vinicius Junior has sent a clear signal he is leaving Real Madrid. The Brazilian forward reportedly refused to shake hands with club president Florentino Perez after a match.
The incident occurred amid Real Madrid's worst season in years. The club is struggling under coach Xabi Alonso, and tensions are high in the dressing room.
British outlet Sports Bible reported on April 23 that Vinicius 'gave a clear sign he will leave Real Madrid' by snubbing Perez. The president's handshake was ignored.
This is not the first sign of discord. Vinicius has been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu, with Saudi clubs and Premier League teams reportedly interested.
Real Madrid's 2025-2026 campaign has been disastrous. The team is out of the title race, and internal fractures are now public. Vinicius's future looks increasingly distant from Madrid.
Fans are shocked by the open disrespect. The relationship between the star and the club appears beyond repair.
