Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha has claimed that he would be “silly” to move to Real Madrid this summer.
Since Wolverhampton Wanderers opted against activating a permanent move for their loanee in 2021, Vitinha has developed into one of the best midfielders in world football.
As well as winning three Ligue 1 titles and a Champions League trophy with PSG, the Portugal international has contributed 25 goals and 24 assists from 190 appearances in all competitions.
However, now at the age of 26, there has been talk of Vitinha potentially taking on a new challenge.
That is despite the playmaker penning a contract extension until 2029 just 13 months ago.

Major boost for PSG project
There was a time when many of European football’s top stars would have been prioritising a transfer to Real Madrid, Barcelona or the Premier League.
However, with Luis Enrique in charge and a change of strategy away from signing the highest-profile names possible, PSG is viewed as an attractive place to play football in the long term.
Ending their wait for a Champions League trophy in 2025 helped matters, yet Luis Enrique has a cohesive group of players who are happy in France.
