US Edition“I’m leaving the team” - Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr’s response to Xabi Alonso after substitution during El Clasico revealed
Vinicius Junior is frustrated by limited playing time and strained relations with coach Xabi Alonso, with Saudi Pro League clubs reportedly offering over €200 million, sources say.
- Over recent weeks tension boiled over when Vinicius Junior stormed off after a substitution during Real Madrid v Barcelona Clasico, detracting from Madrid's victory.
- Reports say Vinicius Junior feels he lacks Xabi Alonso's `respect` and is seriously considering leaving Real Madrid after being benched last month for the Champions League opener with Marseille and completing full 90 minutes in only three early matches.

- Alonso said he was relaxed and would handle the matter privately, adding `I'm taking away many positive things from Vini's game`; Bernabeu bosses may impose a hefty fine.
- Representatives have held talks with Saudi Pro League clubs prepared to offer in excess of �200million, and Vinicius Junior remains tied to a Real Madrid contract, making any move significant.
