Xabi Alonso has been at the helm of Real Madrid for only a few months, but he’s already gained a clear sense of the squad and where it needs reinforcements. Shoring up the midfield is a top priority, and reports indicate he is targeting a player from PSG.
The transfer wouldn’t be straightforward. PSG’s midfield trio of Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, and João Neves played a crucial role in their dominant 2024‑25 campaign, helping the team secure Ligue 1, the UEFA Champions League, and the Coupe de France.
Still, a significant bid from Madrid could put PSG under pressure and tempt the player to consider a move away from Paris. That said, other clubs may also be interested in snapping up this standout talent.
Liverpool Latest to Show Interest in Vitinha
CaughtOffside reported, citing sources, that Liverpool are closely monitoring PSG’s Portuguese midfielder Vitinha ahead of the January transfer window.
The Reds’ scouting team regards the 25-year-old as one of Europe’s most technically gifted midfielders, noting his ability to control the tempo and drive play through midfield makes him a strong fit for Slot’s system.
Despite the interest, Liverpool are unlikely to make a formal approach unless a current midfielder departs in January. PSG, however, are reluctant to part ways, with Vitinha under contract until 2029 and reportedly considered “untouchable” by the French club.

This news follows Fichajes’ report that Real Madrid have set its sights on Vitinha as a key addition for next season. The club is reportedly readying a €100 million offer to sway the Parisian side.
Since Xabi Alonso took over as manager, Real Madrid have prioritized adding a midfielder who can provide creativity, control, and vision—qualities they believe Vitinha possesses. They plan to pursue the transfer in the summer of 2026, per the report.
