Xabi Alonso has only been in charge at Real Madrid for a few months, giving him a firsthand look at the squad and its weak spots. Strengthening the midfield is a priority for him, and reports suggest he has an eye on a player from PSG.
The move will not be simple. PSG’s midfield trio of Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, and João Neves was key to their dominant 2024‑25 season, helping the club capture Ligue 1, the UEFA Champions League, and the Coupe de France.
Still, a substantial offer from Madrid could test PSG’s resolve and might convince the player to consider a move away from Paris.
Real Madrid Remain Keen on Vitinha for Next Year
Fichajes reports that Real Madrid have set their 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 became manager, Real Madrid have emphasized the need for a midfielder who can bring creativity, control, and vision to the team, qualities they see in Vitinha. The transfer pursuit of the player is expected to be aimed at the summer of 2026.

Even so, that offer could be below what the Ligue 1 club reportedly wants for the player. Fichajes adds that PSG has valued him at around €100-130 million, creating one of the biggest financial challenges for Real Madrid. Contract terms further complicate negotiations.
As a result, Real Madrid is proceeding carefully, keeping a close eye on the Vitinha situation while exploring other options to reinforce the midfield if the deal doesn’t go through. Additionally, he has been a key contributor for the Parisian club, and with his contract running until 2029, PSG holds a significant advantage.
