Real Madrid targets another PSG star, following Mbappé's path. With Vitinha unlikely, Fabian Ruiz emerges as a potential creative midfield acquisition.
In 2024, after multiple unsuccessful attempts, Real Madrid finally managed to acquire Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman thus realized his dream by joining Los Blancos after playing seven seasons in the PSG jersey.
And what if this path were now being taken by other Parisians? Real Madrid would apparently have its eye on two players from Luis Enrique's squad.
Last season, PSG established itself as the best team in Europe, steamrolling the competition to win the first Champions League in its history.
A journey during which several individuals shone, and these performances have clearly not gone unnoticed. As a result, various PSG players are reportedly being heavily courted in the transfer market.
Real Madrid would notably be among the teams scouting Luis Enrique's squad, hoping to again pick from Paris after recruiting Kylian Mbappe in 2024.
At Real Madrid, they would therefore have an eye on PSG with a view to the upcoming summer transfer window.
Real Madrid's Vitinha Alternative Also Plays for PSG
And it's two players who would particularly interest the Casa Blanca. For ESPN, journalist Rodra stated, "One of Real Madrid's objectives this summer is to recruit a creative midfielder. Vitinha is the player they prefer, but his entourage and PSG believe a departure is unlikely. Fabian Ruiz, also at PSG, is another player mentioned by Madrid's board."
Given the very cold relations between PSG and Real Madrid since the Kylian Mbappe transfer, these two cases seem more complex than ever. Nonetheless, the Merengue have reasons to hope.
Recently, Vitinha notably left the door open, admitting, "La Liga is fantastic and fits my style of play better. I would like to play there one day. But it is difficult to set specific goals. You have to take it step by step."
