Real Madrid are not ruling out the exit of the €180 million-rated Ballon d'Or contender.

The Brazilian has not been at his best, scoring only one goal in four appearances.

He has clearly missed the attention and determination for which he is known.

Some in the club believe Vinicius has lost focus after the 'bumper offer' from Saudi Arabia was revealed.

As reservations over Vinicius' form deepen, Real Madrid hasn't completely ruled out trading the Brazilian international, says SPORT.

It appears the reigning European champions no longer consider Vinicius irreplaceable while his behaviour has also become a growing concern for the club.

With the recent additions of Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, and Arda Guler, and the presence of other forwards like Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz

the club feel there are options within the squad to cover for any potential departure of the Brazilian.

Real Madrid’s growing frustration with Vinicius stems from multiple incidents.

His behaviour and actions are increasingly seen as detrimental to the club’s image and objectives.
