With the end of the transfer window, it has become pretty clear to most fans and experts that Kylian Mbappé's future could be far from PSG, with Real Madrid being his potential destination.
The Spanish giants have been huge fans of Mbappé for quite some time and even came close to signing him in 20222, but the French striker snubbed a hefty offer and made a last-minute change: he chose to sign an extension with Les Parisiens, breaking the fans of Real Madrid's supporters and causing the rage of Florentino Pérez.
Now, with Mbappé's deal about to conclude once again, all bets point at a new offer by Los Blancos, one that will protect the team's identity from any wrongdoing by the Frenchman, in case he decides to pull off a similar move as the one he came up with in 2022.
Given Mbappé's massive wages and superstar status, the Spanish side must bid farewell to one of their offensive players, and Sport's Joaquim Piera has named Vinicius as the man that will leave the Bernabeu to make way for Mbappé.
According to Piera's words, Florentino Pérez will choose Mbappé over Vinicius to lead the team's new project, even if the Brazilian has evolved into one of the best players in the world and is younger than the Frenchman.
"Florentino sees the Frenchman as the best player on the planet. He has already started to craft a new team with players that were on PSG's radar, such as Camavinga and Tchouamení, and he threw Bellingham into the mix. Florentino does not believe Vinicius can become the No.1 player in the world, and he is ready to go all in for PSG's star," Piera said.
The journalist went on to add how Florentino Pérez had a different idea when it came to Vinicius' role in world football, which saw him luring the Rio de Janeiro away from Barcelona, and even repeating that move with Rodrygo years later.
"Florentino 'stole' Vinicius away from Barcelona because he thought he was hiring the 'new Neymar'. He realized his mistake and then went on to hire Rodrygo. Neither one of them turned out to be what Neymar was," Piera added.
Mbappé's decision is expected to come next month, once PSG have sorted out their Round of 16 match against Real Sociedad. If PSG end up losing the tie, all experts believe Mbappé will leave Les Parisiens, but only time will tell if he is ready to pull off such a move after snubbing several offers by Los Blancos in the past.
