Paris Saint-Germain have made it clear that midfielder, Vitinha will not be leaving the club this summer under any circumstances amid interest from Real Madrid and other top European clubs, Softfootball reports.
The 25-year-old joined Les Parisiens from Porto in 2022 for €41.5m and has since become an indispensable part of Luis Enrique’s tactical squad.
With Luka Modric departing for AC Milan and Toni Kroos now retired, Real Madrid find themselves short of midfield control. Head coach Alonso has identified Vitinha as a top target, but the French champions remain unwilling to part with their midfield maestro at this stage.
The Portuguese international, who has grown into a vital figure at the Parc des Princes, has no release clause in his contract, giving the club full control over his future.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano via his X handle, President Nasser Al Khelaifi, sporting advisor Luis Campos and head coach Luis Enrique all consider him a cornerstone of their long-term project. The tweet reads:
“Vitinha won’t leave PSG this summer under any circumstances or any bid.
There’s no release clause into his contract and he’s untouchable for Nasser Al Khelaifi, Luis Campos, Luis Enrique.”
While a transfer seems unlikely this transfer window, Real Madrid is ready to pursue Vitinha vigorously next summer, following a strategy similar to their approach for Mbappe, and they would need to make a monumental financial move to land the Portuguese star.
With Paris Saint-Germain determined to keep hold of Vitinha, the 25-year-old looks set to continue playing a central role in their midfield as the French champions push for success in both Ligue 1 and Europe this season.
