Those who have followed Paris Saint-Germain started to see earlier in the season that Luis Enrique had built a probably strong team that could go all the way.
Luis Enrique has put his foot down for a player who is on Real Madrid’s wish list, regardless of whether they bid more than the €60 million that Transfermarkt believe he is worth.
It’s like Portuguese midfielder Vitinha.
Vitinha has been one of the most prominent names this season for PSG. The Portuguese midfielder has shone in a team full of stars, and his performances have not gone unnoticed at Real Madrid, who follow the player’s development closely. But Paris has made it clear that there is no room for negotiation: the Portuguese international is not for sale.
Vitinha stays at PSG
Luis Enrique counts Vitinha as a mainstay of his system. His dynamism, ability to link games and balance in midfield have been crucial to the Asturian coach’s tactics. So much so that Enrique has explicitly asked the board to protect the player from outside interest – no matter how tempting an offer may be. The coaching staff’s confidence in the former Porto player is unwavering.
PSG is sending a clear signal of firm will. The recent European triumph has strengthened the project, and retaining key players is a priority to maintain the team’s competitiveness. Despite Vitinha’s name appearing on the radar of several continental big clubs, PSG’s stance is clear: the player will continue in blue and red next season.
Real Madrid is monitoring the situation
At Valdebebas (Real Madrid’s training ground), they are aware that the current circumstances are not favourable for an enquiry about the midfielder. Nevertheless, his name continues to be closely followed by Real Madrid’s scouts as a future option.
Meanwhile, Vitinha is focusing on further development in Paris, where he has found stability, a prominent role and the unconditional support of his coach. With PSG’s decision to build on solid foundations, any attempt to lure him away from Paris – at least for now – seems like an impossible task.
The situation underlines PSG’s ambitions to keep their most promising talent, while also showing how important Vitinha has become to Luis Enrique’s system.
