Florentino Pérez is poised to make a significant €150 million bid for a global football star following the confirmation of his victory in the Real Madrid presidential election. While the specific target remains undisclosed, speculation has swiftly linked the offer to two Portuguese midfielders: Vitinha and João Neves.
Initially, another promising candidate, Olivier Olise from Bayern Munich, was considered for the role of spearheading José Mourinho’s project. However, after solidifying his position as a top-tier player, the French midfielder’s transfer now appears unlikely, as Bayern Munich seems reluctant to part with their emerging talent.
PSG’s Firm Stance on Key Midfielders
According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, if Real Madrid were to pursue Vitinha or João Neves, the negotiations would face significant obstacles. Romano characterizes both players as “unsellable, untouchable, and a key part of the project” at Paris Saint-Germain.
He further explains that PSG’s management, led by Nasser Al-Khelaifi alongside Luis Campos and Luis Enrique, has no intention of entertaining offers for these midfielders. Their strategy prioritizes retaining star players to bolster their ambitions of securing another Champions League title, making any potential transfer negotiations for Vitinha or João Neves highly improbable.
