Since being taken over by Qatari ownership, Paris Saint-Germain have always sought to feature a superstar in their squad. While the club is now focusing more on nurturing young talent, there’s still a possibility they might look for a standout player to spearhead this new direction.
Journalist Jorge C. Picon points out that if the right opportunity comes along, PSG could make a significant move against Florentino Pérez and Real Madrid by pursuing Vinicius Junior. Although there hasn’t been any serious attempt yet and contact has been limited, PSG are keeping a close eye on his situation.
A report from Spain reveals that Manchester United and Chelsea are closely following Vinicius’ situation and are ready to make a move if the opportunity arises. Real Madrid sees the Brazilian forward as a cornerstone of their future plans, but after he missed out on the 2024 Ballon d’Or—won by Rodri—rumors of a possible exit have started to swirl.
What’s the latest on Vinicius Junior leaving Real Madrid?
The latest from Spain confirms that Manchester United, Chelsea, and PSG are interested in signing Vinicius but recognize that a deal will be expensive. Madrid are eager to extend Vinicius’ contract, which currently runs through 2027, to secure one of their top talents for the long term.

However, recent renewal talks have hit some snags, with the latest club offer reportedly turned down. There’s no potential asking price for the Brazilian, but Transfermarkt puts his value at €200 million.
