PSG: Real Madrid puts pressure on Vitinha

It’s a sea serpent that has come up very often in the Madrid press in recent months: Real Madrid would like to enlist Vitinha to entrust him with the keys to their midfield from next summer. The Iberian media even mentioned a clause in his contract, allowing him to leave the Parisian club for 90 million euros. As release clauses do not exist in players’ contracts in France, it would be – in the event that it does indeed exist – a clause signed under private signature, or a gentlemen’s agreement between the player and his managers.

In any case, if it is obvious that Paris Saint-Germain will not let their player go easily, on the Madrid side, we seem to believe it. And this despite the relations between the two clubs, which have become execrable, following various issues such as the European Super League – Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is a big head at UEFA, Florentino Pérez is for the creation of this new tournament – or the Mbappé affair.

Vitinha must take action

There Cadena SERa more than serious media outlet across the Pyrenees, says a little more this Monday. We learn that Vitinha is still Real Madrid’s priority to strengthen its midfielder this summer, and that there is a private agreement in his contract for him to leave PSG if he wishes. But above all, we learn that Real Madrid is waiting for Vitinha to appear. It is the player who must take the first step if he wishes to join the Bernabéu.

The ball is therefore in Vitinha’s court. If he wants to leave, he must make it known to the management of PSG and Real Madrid, and from that moment, the Merengues will launch the operation. If a release clause of 90 million euros had been mentioned a few months ago, the Cadena SER today evokes a transfer which could be concluded around 100 million euros. To be continued…
