Vitinha, the 25-year-old Portuguese midfielder, has finally established himself at Paris Saint-Germain, where his contract now runs until 2029 following an extension in 2025. Unsurprisingly, this highly talented player is attracting a lot of attention. Cadena Ser is now reporting that Real Madrid is planning a move to bolster the squad should forward Vinicius Junior (25) leave.
“If Vinicius leaves Real Madrid, the Portuguese midfielder would be recruited to strengthen a position that has been very weak this season.”
Real Madrid are reportedly closely monitoring Vitinha’s situation should Vinicius leave the club. However, such a transfer would prove complex, given the Parisian club’s reputation for being inflexible in negotiations with its stars, the fact that Vitinha is a key player for Luis Enrique, and that his contract runs until 2029.
As always with rumors, caution is advised. This is especially true when the rumor originates from Spain, concerns a key PSG player, and involves one of the two Iberian giants (Real Madrid and FC Barcelona). It is quite plausible that Vitinha is a target, as he has been one of the best in his position for some time.
However, there is nothing to indicate that he is looking to leave. The Portuguese player has even emphasized his happiness at PSG with coach Luis Enrique in recent days. As for the club and its coach, it would be very strange if they had any desire to see the midfielder leave. Real Madrid and other clubs may try their luck, but it won’t come to anything.
There might not even be a concrete offer, given how clear the situation seems. Barring any surprises, this happens in football. But even the Spanish newspaper emphasizes the difficulty of the transfer, which is a sign of its improbability.
