Vinicius Jr. has been the talk of the town this week, and there are even rumors placing him outside of Real Madrid and interested in joining Paris Saint-Germain.

The Merengue club beat Barcelona 2-1 in the latest edition of El Clasico, but the Brazilian footballer caused controversy due to a gesture against his coach Xabi Alonso.

Vinicius, 25, was substituted by Rodrygo in the 75th minute and Real Madrid's #11 threw a tantrum and shouted several things at his club's technical staff.

Since then, rumors have erupted about the player's alleged interest in leaving the Spanish capital and finding a team that values him more.

Reports from Spain indicate that Vinicius would be interested in signing for Luis Enrique's PSG, the current UEFA Champions League holders.

According to Sport, the Brazilian winger would prefer to join the club from the French capital over other options like the Premier League or Saudi Arabia.

"Vinicius' willingness to leave Madrid next summer… provided the Basque coach (Alonso) remains in charge. The decision is made," wrote Joaquim Piera for the aforementioned outlet.

"In this situation, Vinicius, who remains furious, is already thinking about new destinations. The one that motivates him the most, even ahead of the Premier League and Saudi petrodollars, is PSG, which already knows how to win the Champions League," added Piera.

The same report indicates that the Brazilian would be delighted with the idea of working for Luis Enrique, as he believes he would have no problems coexisting with the Spanish coach.

Furthermore, the interest would be mutual, according to Piera, who states that PSG is "watching from a distance" the situation with Vinicius.

"Xabi Alonso, as much as he is backed by Florentino (Perez), has shown himself to be manifestly incapable of managing the day-to-day of a team where fires keep breaking out, which now have a public and planetary dimension," concludes the report.
