€90M and Vitinha to Real Madrid, the bomb clause in his contract with PSG

The surprising clause with which Real Madrid could complete the signing of Vitinha

Long before Luka Modric's departure, Real Madrid was already searching for a playmaker. Although the club considered several players, Vitinha has kept his status as the favorite. Despite the difficulty of signing him this summer, he could join the club next season due to, according to Defensa Central, his release clause.

Although he renewed his contract until 2029, Vitinha's contract includes a €90 million clause (90 million euros). This will be activated starting next summer, so Real Madrid will have an opportunity to sign the midfielder. Although his price remains high, Vitinha's age and level justify every euro the team will have to pay.

A key piece for PSG, Vitinha has improved significantly since he joined the club in 2022. His impact at the club has been so great that he is currently considered one of its best players. Although PSG is not interested in letting him go, this could change in 2026.

The possible signing of Vitinha

Trained in Porto's youth academy, Vitinha played for the first team and had a loan spell at Wolverhampton before signing for PSG. As a talented but unknown midfielder, Vitinha has changed the latter since his arrival in Paris. His performance during last season is clear proof of the level the player has reached.

At 25 years old, Vitinha is in one of the best moments of his still young career. 8 goals and 5 assists in 4,521 minutes (4,521 minutes) played show his impact on PSG's game. Alongside Joao Neves and Fabián Ruiz, Vitinha forms a solid midfield.

Although Real Madrid is clearly interested in signing him, this will not be easy. The relationship between the white club and PSG has been very tense since the last transfer window. Even so, the release clause is an exit route that not even PSG can deny.

The wait for 2026

This summer transfer window was simply excellent from Real Madrid. However, next summer is shaping up to be a truly historic window for the team. Signing Vitinha would be an excellent move for the club to once again have a leader in the center of the field.
