Liverpool and Real Madrid will have to break the bank and fork out €130 million to sign PSG mainstay Vitinha.

The Portuguese international has taken his game to the next level in recent seasons. Thanks to his impressive performances for PSG, Vitinha is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world, and there is no shortage of interest in his services.

The French giants are reluctant to sell one of their best players, but according to a report from CaughtOffside, an offer of around €130 million could tempt them into negotiations. Liverpool and Real Madrid are two of the clubs that are keen on his signature.

While both European giants can afford to fork out that big a fee, a potential transfer won’t be that straightforward. After coming up the ranks and making a name for himself while playing for FC Porto, Vitinha joined PSG in the summer of 2022.

While he had a decent start to life in Ligue 1, the 25-year-old has reached great heights under the mentorship of Luis Enrique. The Portuguese midfielder played a massive role in their treble-winning campaign last season. He was one of their standout players alongside Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele.

Liverpool and Real Madrid want Vitinha

His composure on the ball, press resistance, and exceptional ball distributions have caught the eyes of quite a few top clubs, including Liverpool. The Merseyside club want to reinforce their midfield in January, and they consider Vitinha just the perfect fit for Arne Slot’s team.

He can help them better control the tempo of games. Apart from the Reds, even Real Madrid are keen on his signature. Xabi Alonso wants another world-class number six, and the Portuguese international has all the qualities he is looking for.

While both clubs would love to sign the 25-year-old, they will find it very difficult to strike a deal with PSG. His contract at the club runs until 2029, and they are reluctant to let him leave anytime soon. An offer of around €130 million can certainly tempt them to negotiate, but it is not certain that it will be enough to get a deal over the line.
