PSG's Plan for Revenge: Vinicius Junior Targeted if Madrid Signs Mbappe
- World Soccer Today -
According to reports, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is considering signing Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior as a form of revenge if Madrid succeeds in signing Kylian Mbappe.
PSG's president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, is still upset about Madrid's attempts to sign Mbappe last season, and as a result, PSG is determined to sign Vinicius if Madrid does end up signing Mbappe.
The French club managed to keep hold of Mbappe last summer by offering him a contract extension until 2025.
Leonardo, PSG's former sporting director, had previously expressed interest in a potential swap deal involving Vinicius and Madrid, but the Brazilian player ultimately decided to stay at Madrid.
Vinicius' contract expires in June 2024, and PSG may make a move for him despite his high buyout clause of 1000 million euros.
PSG is known for making big moves in the transfer market, as demonstrated by the 222 million euro signing of Neymar in 2017.
They have the financial capability to pull off a major signing like Vinicius, and it is clear that they are willing to use that power to strike back at Real Madrid if they succeed in signing Mbappe.
The French club is reportedly obsessed with signing Vinicius and will make the definitive move if Madrid does end up signing Mbappe.
This transfer saga is sure to be one to watch, as both clubs are determined to make a statement in the market and assert their dominance in the world of soccer.
It's worth noting that such a move by PSG to sign Vinicius as a form of revenge would not only be a significant financial investment but also would be a significant risk for the French side as the Brazilian winger hasn't been in his best form in recent seasons, and his performances have been criticized by the media and fans.
Additionally, it's also worth mentioning that Madrid's new coach Zinedine Zidane has shown a lot of confidence in Vinicius and has given him many chances to prove himself.
Therefore, it is uncertain whether Vinicius would be interested in leaving Madrid for PSG, especially if he starts to get more playing time and returns to his best form.
This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on as the transfer window approaches, as the fate of Mbappe and Vinicius could have a major impact on the future of both clubs.
