Vitinha on Real Madrid’s Radar as a €60 Million Replacement for Kroos
Real Madrid have set their sights on Paris Saint-Germain’s Vitinha as a potential successor to Toni Kroos in their midfield.
Kroos, who was a cornerstone of Los Blancos’ success, retired at the end of last season, leaving a void that the club has yet to fill.
With Vitinha now emerging as a prime target, Real Madrid are preparing to monitor his progress throughout the current campaign.
Kroos played a pivotal role in Real Madrid’s recent La Liga and Champions League double, making his departure a significant loss.
With this, the Spanish giants did not make any major midfield signings during the summer transfer window, which has only amplified the urgency to find a replacement.
Vitinha, who has been a key figure for PSG, is reportedly at the top of Real Madrid’s wish list. The 24-year-old Portuguese international has impressed both at the club level and on the international stage, particularly during the recent European Championships.
His performances have caught the attention of Real Madrid’s scouts, who see him as a natural fit for their style of play.
The road to securing Vitinha’s services, however, is likely to be challenging. PSG are in a strong negotiating position, with the midfielder under contract until 2027.
Real Madrid may need to fork out around €60 million to tempt the French club into selling.
While a deal for Vitinha is not expected to happen until the end of the season, Real Madrid’s interest signals their intent to reinforce their midfield and continue their pursuit of success on both domestic and European fronts.
The potential transfer saga promises to be one to watch as the season progresses.
