Social media gossip accounts reported that Vinicius missed team training after oversleeping due to a private meeting with an influencer. However, Brazilian media outlet Terra clarified that Vinicius was actually in Dubai filming an advertisement, which was an "official business trip."
The reports claimed that Vinicius spent the night with influencer Catarina Deme at a hotel in Madrid and overslept the next day, missing team training and even failing to answer calls from club officials. Some also alleged that Vinicius left the hotel via an emergency staircase at noon.
It should be noted that while this news has spread widely on social media, there are currently no reliable media reports on the matter, nor any corroborating images or videos. Additionally, Deme posted a photo of herself with her fiancé on social media in August, announcing that she was taken. Brazilian media outlet Terra stated that Vinicius's absence from training was because he was in Dubai filming an advertisement, which Real Madrid was aware of. The advertisement Vinicius was filming was also related to a tourism cooperation project between the region and Real Madrid. In recent days, netizens have also filmed videos of Vinicius in Dubai, and Vinicius himself does not even know Deme.
