PSG dream of Vinicius and Modric forming part of Neymar negotiations

Real Madrid Casemiro is another name to have come up

Paris Saint-Germain are open to Neymar's exit and the French side are clear that there are two Real Madrid players they'd be keen to include in an agreement for the Brazilian's transfer.

Those players are Luka Modric and Vinicius Junior.

The Brazilian is a player that sporting director Leonardo is dreaming of, having had him on his own personal shortlist for quite some time.

As much as he views the teenager as the ideal replacement for Neymar, Vinicius is untouchable at Real Madrid.

He's not up for negotiation, even with this pre-season not going as was expected for him.

Los Blancos have no doubts about his potential, and they're not willing to let him leave at any cost.

Florentino Perez is convinced that he'll be an era-defining player at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, which was one of the earlier disagreements he had with Julen Lopetegui.

Modric's name is also on PSG's list, as is Casemiro's, while James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale are of no interest to them.

It should be noted, though, that Casemiro is of less interest now to PSG than before, as they have recently strengthened in that area of the pitch.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, are keeping an eye on what happens in Paris.

While PSG have met with Barcelona, there hasn't been any contact yet with Real Madrid for Neymar.

But that may change should negotiations between the Parisians and the Catalans not show any signs of progression.

The situation is still delicately balanced as Real Madrid don't want, nor can they afford, a monumental transfer fee, while the players that interest PSG as part of an exchange aren't seen as disposable.
