Real Madrid Unwilling to Pay €130M for PSG Player Who Xabi Alonso Wants | OneFootball

Xabi Alonso will be taking over the Real Madrid managerial job soon, and he reported that he has one PSG player on his radar to bolster the squad. Nonetheless, it’s a complicated file.

One of PSG’s strengths this season has been the midfield with Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, and João Neves. The group have played a role in the Parisians reaching the UEFA Champions League final, Coupe de France final, and winning Ligue 1.

However, could a major offer for one of the players cause PSG or even the midfielder to reconsider remaining in the French capital long-term?

According to Defensa Central, Jorge Mendes has already made PSG’s stance clear: if Vitinha wants to leave, it’ll cost no less than €130 million. That’s a steep asking price—one Real Madrid isn’t currently willing to meet.

Still, the club’s sporting directors are actively exploring other options, knowing the squad needs a serious refresh after a frustrating season. While a move for Vitinha seems unlikely for now, Madrid remain focused on signing a top-level midfielder who fits the playing style Xabi Alonso is expected to implement.
