PSG's strategy was to ask for Vinicius as a replacement for either of the two top players. This was a clever move, as PSG didn't want to give up either of the players. Cury said that the negotiations were tense, with PSG saying "I won't give you this one if you don't give me the other one." In the end, the negotiations failed, and Vinicius joined Real Madrid. He was highly valued because he was a young and talented winger with a bright future.

Cury also revealed that he was working with Barcelona when Vinicius left Flamengo for Real Madrid. In fact, Cury said that everything was ready to sign Vinicius for Barcelona, but his family and agents changed their minds. This was a good decision, as it allowed Vinicius to join Real Madrid and become the player he is today.
