Overview
- Spanish reports say Real Madrid are awaiting a gesture from Vitinha before approaching PSG, with a private exit option mentioned and a cost estimated at around €100 million.
- Vitinha is contracted to PSG through 2029 and was a key figure in their 2024–25 treble-winning season, finishing third in the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
- Manchester City’s Rodri is being tracked as Plan B, with Madrid monitoring his performances and contract outlook as well as the managerial situation that could influence his future.
- The planned summer rebuild prioritizes a controlling midfielder and central defenders after the departures of Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić exposed a lack of on‑ball organization.
- Real Madrid’s fee-spending focus remains on under‑20 talents, with Vitinha viewed as an exception as scouts also assess younger options such as Kees Smit.
