Real Madrid are looking to bolster their squad ahead of the new season.
They have already strengthened their defence by adding Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Alvaro Carreras.
Apart from that, they have signed the Argentine winger, Franco Mastantuono. Now, Madrid are eyeing a midfielder.
Xabi Alonso wants to sign someone who can break the play and progress the ball. He identified that flaw in his team during the Club World Cup, especially in that PSG game.
Real Madrid were decimated by Luis Enrique’s men in that semi-final game. After the game, Xabi Alonso realised that he needed a defensive midfielder.
He already has Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni to fill that role. But Alonso is not that confident about relying on these two French internationals.
That is why he is eyeing another man whom he can trust. The main man Alonso wanted to sign was Rodri from Manchester City.
However, Transfer News Live revealed earlier that the Manchester City star is set to sign a new contract, which will surely end the pursuit from Real Madrid.
Now, Florentino Perez and Xabi Alonso are eyeing a midfielder who is the ideal alternative to Rodri, according to them.
Also, their next midfield target played a key role for PSG when the French side humiliated Real Madrid in the Club World Cup.
According to Foot01, Real Madrid have set their sights on Vitinha from PSG as their next midfield target. They feel he could be an alternative to Vitinha.
Luis Enrique is not ready to let the Portuguese leave. PSG will be asking for a fee of around €130 million.
So, the next few weeks will be key to this Vitinha to Real Madrid transfer.
🚨 Real Madrid made an enquiry for Vitinha and have been told that PSG’s asking price would start at €130M.
