Vinicius accused of leaking Real Madrid dressing room secrets

Tension within the Real Madrid squad is reportedly growing amid claims that Vinicius Junior is acting as an internal informant for head coach Alvaro Arbeloa.

Mundo Deportivo reports that some players suspect the Brazilian of passing information from the dressing room directly to the coaching staff, largely because of his especially close relationship with Arbeloa.

According to the report, several members of the squad believe details about internal discussions and the mood in the locker room have reached the coach via Vinicius, something that has only deepened the unease around the winger. The feeling that private matters are not staying within the group is said to be fuelling mistrust at a time when results and performances have already put the team under scrutiny.

Vinicius’s contract situation adds another layer to the story. His current deal runs until the summer of 2027, but there has been no announcement so far about extending his stay at the Bernabeu. With uncertainty over his future and whispers about his role in the dressing room, the spotlight on Vinicius is only likely to intensify in the coming months.
