The Spanish giants have made Mbappe their top target for next summer, but face a difficult task in convincing PSG to sell one of their biggest assets.
According to AS, Vinicius could be the man to unlock the move, as a makeweight that would be accepted by the French giants.
PSG sporting director Leonardo is said to be convinced that Vinicius has a bright future ahead of him and can become one of the world’s best players.
Those terms were rejected by Real Madrid, who wouldn’t consider losing the Brazil international, but the situation has since changed.
Real Madrid’s hopes of signing the France international could also be boosted by PSG’s failed attempts to tie the player down on a new contract.
His current deal expires in 2022, and the Parisiens could be convinced to do a deal as that date comes closer if new terms can’t be agreed.
