Real Madrid has been heavily associated with midfielders in recent days, particularly with Xabi Alonso citing a clear hole in the squad and a need for leadership in the department.
While there did not appear to be a significant gap to cover at first, the loss of leadership following the exits of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric is now obvious, and Real Madrid is seeking for a seasoned presence to balance the situation.
On that front, PSG’s Vitinha has emerged as their dream target, despite the fact that the deal was always thought to be extremely complicated due to budgetary constraints.
A second hurdle.
According to Defensa Central, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has emerged as a formidable obstacle between Real Madrid and Vitinha, and he will do all in his power to prevent the midfielder from joining the men in white.

There is a €90 million release clause in the player’s contract, which Real Madrid intended to exercise if they profited from a major departure like Vinicius’.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, on the other hand, refuses to meet with Florentino Perez to discuss any potential transfers following the Kylian Mbappe scandal.
The PSG president is upset with how Perez and Real Madrid handled Mbappe’s free agent transfer and has decided that he will no longer cooperate.
The decision is definitive and legally binding, and it is unlikely to change regardless of the circumstances.
Everything is now in the hands of Vitinha, as the player will make the final decision. Given the recent development, his contract until 2029 leaves no room for negotiation between the teams, and the release clause appears to be beyond Real Madrid’s current budget.
