Real Madrid are reportedly ready to shake up their midfield by offering Eduardo Camavinga along with a staggering €100 million in a sensational bid to lure Vitinha from Paris Saint-Germain. According to Defensa Central (via Madrid Universal), the Spanish giants view Vitinha as a perfect fit for their evolving midfield and are willing to make a bold move to secure his services.
The report suggests that Real Madrid are highly impressed with Vitinha’s development and consistency. The 25-year-old Portuguese midfielder has had a phenomenal 2024–25 campaign, establishing himself as one of Europe’s standout players. With 65 appearances under his belt across club and country, and an equal tally of eight goals and eight assists, Vitinha has become one of PSG’s most influential figures.
More than just stats, his trophy cabinet this season reflects his dominance. Vitinha helped PSG secure a clean sweep of domestic titles — Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and the Trophee des Champions. On the continental stage, he played a pivotal role in guiding the Parisians to UEFA Champions League glory. Internationally, he continued his winning streak by helping Portugal clinch the UEFA Nations League, boosting his Ballon d’Or credentials.
It is, therefore, no surprise that Real Madrid are eyeing Vitinha as a key addition to their long-term plans. With Luka Modric nearing retirement and Toni Kroos having already exited, the Los Blancos hierarchy is searching for players who can carry the creative midfield burden for the next decade. Vitinha, with his agility, vision, and composure on the ball, appears to fit the profile perfectly.
Real Madrid already possess an abundance of midfield talent, with Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, and Aurelien Tchouameni forming a solid core. However, the club sees Vitinha as a unique operator — someone who can orchestrate play from deeper positions while also contributing in the final third.
To make the deal more appealing, the Spanish giants are reportedly ready to sacrifice Eduardo Camavinga — a player once touted as a future midfield general at the Bernabéu. Despite showing flashes of brilliance since joining from Rennes, Camavinga has struggled to consistently lock down a starting role under various managers.
The Frenchman’s versatility — being able to cover at left-back or play deeper in midfield — has worked against his development in a specialized role. With competition from Valverde and Tchouameni in central midfield, Camavinga has often found himself on the bench during big games.
PSG, for their part, have long admired Camavinga and view him as a potential asset who could slot into their midfield seamlessly. His energy, defensive awareness, and ability to progress the ball from deep areas could complement the profiles already present in Luis Enrique’s squad.
However, there’s a significant hurdle — Vitinha’s contract. The midfielder is tied to PSG until 2029, and the club has reportedly declared him untouchable. With his growing influence and leadership, PSG have no intention of letting go of one of their most prized assets — regardless of the money involved.
Still, football has seen many surprises, and Real Madrid are unlikely to walk away quietly. The club intends to keep monitoring Vitinha’s situation and will be ready to strike if there’s any sign of unrest or change in PSG’s stance.
Interestingly, Los Blancos will get an up-close look at Vitinha’s talents in just a few days. Real Madrid and PSG are set to face off in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup on July 9. The clash could serve as a live audition of sorts, as Real Madrid scouts, executives, and Xabi Alonso himself assess the Portuguese star on the biggest stage.
The decision to offer Camavinga in the deal reflects Real Madrid’s ruthlessness in the transfer market. Florentino Pérez and his board have never shied away from making tough calls if they believe it benefits the club in the long run — and Camavinga, despite his potential, could become collateral damage in their pursuit of midfield perfection.
What’s more, the offer isn’t just a statement of intent — it’s a declaration that Real Madrid are not satisfied with being great; they want to be untouchable. The blend of Bellingham’s drive, Valverde’s intensity, and Vitinha’s class could create one of the most complete midfields in Europe.
If PSG continue to reject advances, Madrid may look at alternative midfield targets. However, sources close to the Bernabéu suggest that Vitinha remains their preferred option due to his age, style, and mentality.
This proposed deal also comes in the wake of another exciting youth signing for Madrid — 16-year-old Abdellah Ouazane from Ajax, who is reportedly close to finalizing a move. The future at Real Madrid is clearly being planned with precision and boldness.
For now, the ball is in PSG’s court. They can hold firm and reject Madrid’s audacious proposal, or they could be tempted by the chance to bring Camavinga home to France while pocketing €100 million in the process. Whatever happens, this transfer saga is far from over.
