Ex-Spain boss Vicente del Bosque warns Xabi Alonso not to overwork Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr defensively, saying it could backfire at Real Madrid.

Real Madrid suffered a massive defeat during their Club World Cup semifinal to Paris Saint-Germain, a match that not only confirmed their struggles on the pitch but also amplified tensions within the squad as internal discord between the two biggest names, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr., became evident. According to Sport, Xabi Alonso will now choose between the two superstars, with the odds favouring the Frenchman.

The relationship between Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid is tense, as the Brazilian has demanded a higher salary than Kylian Mbappe in his new contract.

Rodrygo could be the beneficiary amid Vinicius Jr.'s contract standoff with Real Madrid, as the club could consider selling the No.7 this summer.

Al-Ahli are preparing a massive transfer offer for Vinicius Jr amid ongoing concerns regarding his contract extension at Real Madrid.
