Xabi Alonso has been in charge of Real Madrid for only a few months, offering him a clear look at the squad and its weak spots. While the summer transfer window is closed, strengthening the midfield is high on his list, and reports say he’s targeting a player from PSG.
Nonetheless, the move won’t come easily. PSG’s midfield trio of Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, and João Neves was central to the club’s dominant 2024-25 season, helping secure Ligue 1, the UEFA Champions League, and the Coupe de France.
Still, a significant offer from Madrid could challenge PSG’s stance—or even tempt the player to consider leaving Paris.

Fichajes reports that Real Madrid, reportedly guided by Xabi Alonso, see Vitinha as an ideal candidate to strengthen their midfield. The player reportedly matches the technical profile the club is looking for, with strong ball-handling skills and the ability to control the pace of the game.
PSG, however, is setting a high asking price. The French club reportedly won’t consider offers below €100 million and has publicly refused to negotiate unless approached with terms they find suitable.
The summer of 2026 is expected to be crucial. If Vitinha wants to join Real Madrid, his ambition will need to align with the club’s willingness to meet PSG’s reported financial demands.
