Confirmed, historic swap between PSG and Real Madrid: 'Vinícius Júnior in exchange for...'

Vinícius Júnior is going through his most delicate moment since his arrival at Real Madrid. The Brazilian, who until recently was considered one of the great stars of world soccer, has seen his performance plummet since he lost the Ballon d'Or. The drop in his level has been so evident that Xabi Alonso has decided to relegate him to the bench in several important matches.

This slump also comes at a critical time contractually. Vinícius Júnior will end his contract with Real Madrid in 2027, but, as of today, he hasn't renewed it. The lack of progress in negotiations is generating tensions within the club and is starting to open the door to a possible farewell.

Vinícius Júnior's contract renewal will shape his future at Bernabéu

During last summer, Vinícius Júnior and his camp set out their demands to extend the contract. The "7" asked to earn the same as Mbappé, something Florentino Pérez directly rejected. The president was blunt: his recent performance didn't justify a salary on par with the French star.

Since then, the relationship between both parties has cooled. Florentino Pérez and the Madrid board have sent a very clear warning: if Vinícius Júnior doesn't accept the club's terms before the end of the season, he'll be put up for sale. This strong message has changed the transfer market landscape.

Real Madrid, always forward-thinking, has already started to make moves. PSG has become the main candidate to welcome the Brazilian winger.

The Parisian team, now without Mbappé, is looking for a new media star capable of filling the void left by the French idol.

PSG's plan to sign Vinícius Júnior

According to sources close to the club, PSG would be willing to include Desiré Doué in the deal. The 19-year-old attacking midfielder is one of the biggest prospects in European soccer, a player with talent, dribbling skills, and a commanding personality. His departure could facilitate Vinícius Júnior's arrival at Parc des Princes.

Desiré Doué stands out for his one-on-one ability, his vision on the field, and his capacity to break lines while carrying the ball. At Real Madrid, they see him as a mid-term star project. His arrival could balance the books in a possible Vinícius Júnior transfer, while also making the squad even younger.

For now, the swap between Real Madrid and PSG isn't closed, but the possibility exists. In Paris, they're convinced that Vinícius could lead a new sports project. Meanwhile, in Madrid, they value the opportunity to bring in a prospect who fits perfectly with the club's future philosophy.
