The 22-year-old Brazilian has been a key player for the Spanish club, contributing 14 goals and six assists this season. Overall, the Brazilian forward has scored 50 goals for Los Blancos since making his senior team debut in 2018.

Vinicius has already won seven titles with the Spanish club, including a Champions League title, two La Liga titles, and one FIFA Club World Cup.

The young Brazilian has shown tremendous potential and has become a fan favorite at the Bernabeu. His speed, dribbling ability, and finishing skills have made him one of the most exciting prospects in European football.

Despite interest from other clubs, Vinicius remains a crucial part of Madrid's squad, and fans at the Santiago Bernabeu hold him in high regard. The Spanish club views Vinicius as a long-term prospect and is unwilling to let any European rival have him, regardless of the money offered.

Real Madrid and PSG have been well involved in big-ticket negotiations over players in the past as well. Los Blancos have been pursuing French sensation Kylian Mbappe as a potential signing.

The Spanish giants were closing in on his signing earlier this season, but the 24-year-old striker signed a contract extension, rattling the fans and hierarchy of Real Madrid. Now, the French giants are turning the heat to poach Madrid's biggest future prospect.

Real Madrid's decision to turn down the €135 million bid for Vinicius shows the club's commitment to building a solid and competitive team for the future. Los Blancos see Vinicius as a valuable asset and believe that he will continue to develop and grow as a player.
