Real Madrid and PSG will face off on Wednesday in one of the most anticipated semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup, a match that promises intense emotions not only on the pitch but also off it.
In addition to the curiosity aroused by the reunion between Kylian Mbappé and his former teammates, attention has also focused on another protagonist: Rodrygo Goes.
The Brazilian striker is going through a sensitive moment with the "white" team, and his future for next season remains uncertain.
Paris has been closely following his situation and is pushing again to include him in its project.
However, the Santiago Bernabéu offices are clear: they will only negotiate if a single and unchangeable condition is included - Vitinha must be part of the deal, according to reports from DefensaCentral.
The Portuguese midfielder, one of PSG's most outstanding players this season, is well-liked by Real Madrid's sporting directors, who believe he would fit perfectly into the scheme that Xabi Alonso plans to implement during his time as Real Madrid coach.
However, relations between the two clubs are far from friendly, adding a layer of tension to this potential deal.
The MetLife Stadium, the venue for the match, will also be the place where the leaders of the two clubs will meet, although it is expected that the meeting will remain purely protocol.
Real Madrid is not willing to strengthen PSG without receiving something important in return.
If PSG does not include Vitinha in the deal, the exit door for Rodrygo will remain closed.
In the meantime, the Brazilian will have a unique opportunity to prove his worth to one of the potential destinations./Express newspaper/
