Neymar is being used by PSG as bait for the Ligue 1 giants to land Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr, reports say. The Samba star is poised to remain at the Parc des Princes, despite long-standing transfer interest from Barcelona. And Thomas Tuchel’s side are hoping to give Neymar and Kylian Mbappe a new attacking partner this summer.
According to Diario Madridista, PSG are determined to land Vinicius from Real Madrid when the transfer window reopens at the end of the season.
The Ligue 1 giants are poised to lose Edinson Cavani on a free, with the Uruguay international wanted by La Liga side Atletico Madrid.
Angel Di Maria may also depart, with Tuchel keen to have younger talent in his attacking going forward.
And, in PSG’s eyes, Vinicius would be the ideal signing.
PSG have reportedly set a sum of money aside for the 20-year-old, preparing to pay a transfer fee and big wages to the youngster.
