Vinicius JR at Paris Saint-Germain? An idea that today seems highly improbable, as the Brazilian has imposed himself over the seasons as one of the emblematic faces of Real Madrid. And yet, this option was not completely dismissed by Madrid leaders, according to the words of the famous Brazilian agent André Cury.
In an interview with the newspaper ASCury revealed that the European and Spain champion club had sought to include the left winger Auriverde in an operation to attract Kylian Mbappé or Neymar to Madrid. At the time, Vinicius, still far from being a confirmed player, was perceived as a promising talent.
PSG's categorical answer
“Yes, they tried to sign Mbappé and Neymar and they used Vinicius as a currency of exchange at that time. At that time, Vini did not yet play, but he was very precious because he was a winger with a great future. I know it because Leonardo (ex-director of PSG football, editor's note) told us, he really liked Vinicius. When Madrid first wanted Neymar then Mbappé, PSG always asked Vinicius as a replacement. But PSG did not want to separate from Neymar or Mbappé ”said Cury.
Destiny ended up deciding. Today, it is under the same jersey, that of Real Madrid, that Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr evolve, united in what announces as a new galactic era at Casa Blanca.
