Vitinha (26 years old) is the midfielder that real madrid and wants him very much to make up for his withdrawal Toni Kroos. The Portuguese midfielder has a contract until 2029 with PSG.
Not everyone wants to go to Real! President Florentino Perez must accept that PSG midfielder Vitinha has completely different plans than a transfer to the “Santiago Bernabeu”.
Vitinha: “I don't think it's the best for me”
In an interview with Channel 11's 'Soltinhos pelo mundo', where he was asked directly about the possibility of leaving Luis Enrique's team and signing for Real Madrid, the former Porto and Wolverhampton player bluntly replied: “It would be stupid to leave!”
He then explained: “I don't think it's the best thing for me. I feel very good here at PSG! I like being here at PSG and so does my family. We have a fantastic group and an incredible coach.”
Neither at Real Madrid nor in Golf: “Doubling or tripling this salary would not make me happier”
Vitinha has a contract until 2029, without a termination clause, but he agreed with the Parisians to be able to leave in case of an advantageous offer for the club, something of the order of 100 million euros.
It was recently revealed that Real would even be willing to pay the sum, but the Portuguese put an end to any speculation and reaffirmed his attachment to PSG: “I feel that people really appreciate me and I feel that I have earned this affection“.
He even dismissed the possibility of ever going to a golf championship. “Let's not be naive. I'm more dedicated to a stable career. I'm already earning very well here in Europe at a big club. Doubling or tripling this salary wouldn't make me any happier,” commented the Portuguese international.
Vitinha is among the top four midfielders in the world
Asked if he considered himself the best midfielder in the world, as some pundits do, Vitinha commented: “I don't like to say I'm the best. It sounds arrogant, because it's always just an opinion. But I know I'm part of that group“.
Group in which he also sees Pedri (Barcelona), Joao Neves (PSG) and Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): “So I'm not in the first three, but in the first four. We can play with four!”.
