Real Madrid see PSG superstar as top midfield target but believe deal ‘impossible’

Much of Real Madrid’s preparations for the new season would hinge on the appointment of a new manager.

Jose Mourinho appears to be the desired pick, with Los Blancos already in advanced talks with the Portuguese tactician. But the club remain equally keen on bringing in reinforcements, particularly in midfield.

For the longest time, Real Madrid were linked with a move for Rodri. But they have also been keeping tabs on PSG’s emerging star, Vitinha.

Vitinha still top target but Real Madrid have doubts

According to ESPN journalist Rodra (h/t Madrid Zone), Real Madrid have identified Vitinha as their favourite reinforcement option in the middle of the park.

The Portuguese international, after all, has been in imperious form at PSG under Luis Enrique, establishing himself as one of the best in the world.

Vitinha’s ability to control the midfield and dictate the tempo of the match makes him very similar to Toni Kroos – a player Real Madrid have missed dearly.
