Real Madrid signals interest in Vitinha’s arrival in the European summer of 2026
Real Madrid has set its sights on Portuguese midfielder Vitinha, currently at PSG, as a potential reinforcement for the 2026 European summer transfer window. The Spanish giant considers midfield strengthening a top priority and has already identified the 24-year-old as a strategic signing for the coming seasons.
Vitinha seen as priority for Xabi Alonso
According to Marca, Xabi Alonso has approved the search for new midfielders and Vitinha tops the club’s list. The player has long been admired by Real Madrid’s board, who see him as a natural fit for the squad’s future.
The timing of the move is linked to a sell-on clause in Vitinha’s contract, which becomes active in 2026. Madrid’s executives plan to capitalize on this condition to facilitate negotiations with PSG.
Early stage of negotiations
For now, Madrid’s interest is still at an early stage, and no official contact has been made with PSG or the player’s representatives. The deal is described as a long-term plan rather than an immediate priority.
Other targets on Madrid’s radar
In addition to Vitinha, Marca also points out that Real Madrid is monitoring defensive reinforcements. Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté and Arsenal’s William Saliba are included on the list of future targets.
