Amid growing noise around dressing room tensions at Real Madrid, a fresh update has brought some clarity, at least regarding Vinicius Jr.
According to journalist Alberto Pereiro, speaking on Radioestadio Noche, the Brazilian forward remains one of the most respected and well-liked figures inside the Madrid dressing room.
Addressing the recent speculation around internal issues, Pereiro explained that Vinicius is far from being part of any problem, stating, “everyone loves him dearly. In fact, he is probably the most popular player.”
This comes at a time when Real Madrid’s dressing room has been under heavy scrutiny.
Reports in recent weeks have pointed towards tensions involving several key figures, including Dani Carvajal, Dani Ceballos, and Kylian Mbappe, as well as manager Alvaro Arbeloa.
These issues have raised questions about the team’s unity during a crucial phase of the season.
A leader on the field
However, Vinicius’ situation appears completely different. The Brazilian has continued to focus on performances, recently delivering a standout display with a brace in the 2-0 win over Espanyol.
On the pitch, he remains one of the team’s most decisive players, consistently stepping up when needed.

Even off the pitch, there are no concerns about his relationship with teammates.
Despite ongoing delays in his contract renewal, there is no indication that it has affected his standing within the squad. His influence and presence in the dressing room remain strong.
Lack of chemistry with Mbappe
That said, one aspect continues to draw attention. While Vinicius is clearly well integrated within the squad, his on-field chemistry with Mbappe remains a topic of debate.
Both players are among the biggest stars in world football, yet they have struggled to fully connect when playing together.
Within the club, there is a growing belief that this lack of cohesion could be a tactical issue rather than a personal one.
For now, though, one thing is clear that Vinicius is not part of Real Madrid’s dressing room problems.
If anything, he remains one of the few constants in a team still searching for balance.
