Real Madrid is preparing for one of the most ambitious operations of this summer: the transfer of Vitinha, the PSG midfielder, for a sum close to 100 million euros plus the inclusion of Eduardo Camavinga in the deal.
Sources close to the club have revealed that the Portuguese international is coach Xabi Alonso's main bet to rebuild the midfield after the imminent departure of Luka Modrić, reports "Fichajes".
The Croatian's departure, along with the retirement of Toni Kroos, has left a deep void in the "engine room" of the Madrid team.
Without their magic and leadership, Real Madrid need a new figure who can control the pace of the game.
For the technical staff, Vitinha represents exactly this sought-after profile: young, experienced at high levels, an organizer, capable of crossing lines and bringing balance.
On the other hand, PSG have previously shown interest in Camavinga, and although the French midfielder is not having his best moment – he is injured and missing the Club World Cup – his potential is still highly regarded in Paris.
His inclusion in the deal aims to facilitate negotiations and reduce the financial cost of a transfer that would otherwise exceed 100 million euros.
In Valdebebas, they are aware that now is the right time to act.
Vitinha has made a qualitative step this season under the guidance of Luis Enrique, and has become a key player for the Portuguese national team as well.
Real Madrid have been closely following him for months, and sporting directors believe his profile is perfect to start a new cycle in midfield.
Los Blancos hope that the conclusion of the Club World Cup will accelerate the moves.
If the deal goes through, Real Madrid will not only secure one of the continent's most promising midfielders, but will also send a strong signal in the team's restructuring process.
With Vitinha, the future of the Madrid midfield seems more secure than ever./Express newspaper/
