Vitinha's gesture after PSG - Real Madrid, he doesn't hold back: 'An honor'

Real Madrid recorded a tough and unexpected defeat against PSG in the Club World Cup semifinals. Luis Enrique's pupils were superior to the sports discipline coached by Xabi Alonso at all times, a circumstance acknowledged by the Tolosa coach. That was not the only new development in that match.

The relentless victory of the rouge-et-bleu squadshowed that its midfield is properly trained and prepared. One of the most outstanding players in the merengue midfield is Vitinha, a footballer who even appears on the merengue list of future prospects at the request of Xabi Alonso himself.

Real Madrid has Vitinha as one of its ideal targets. He spoke about one of the two farewells that took place at MetLife Stadium at the end of the match. Luka Modric was putting an end to his time as a Real Madrid player after more than a decade of football service to the white club. That circumstance did not go unnoticed by anyone.

"It's an honor to compete with Luka Modric," said PSG's pivot regarding the figure of the now former Real Madrid player. The Portuguese talent understands that the Balkan attacking midfielder is one of the figures who has shaped soccer over the past fifteen years. That's why he had no doubts about sending him the following message.

doesn't hide

"I want to thank him for his contribution to soccer", a sports career that has changed the course of history for a gigantic club like Real Madrid. Vitinha did not miss the opportunity to acknowledge before DAZN's microphones that Luka Modric "is my idol", a reference when building his style.

Those comments have not gone unnoticed in the Valdebebas offices. Not only because they come from a player already listed as a future prospect for the white sports management, but also because Luka Modric continues to attract many players to the club's orbit... even when he has confirmed his departure from Santiago Bernabéu locker room.

Vitinha's words encourage Real Madrid to keep open the possibility that the Portuguese midfielder could join the Spanish sports discipline. It's not an easy operation, given the icy institutional relationship that persists between both clubs. The hypothetical reluctance of the Portuguese midfielder to leave a project in which he is a key and undisputed starter would also come into play.

In any case, Real Madrid doesn't lose sight of Vitinha for the coming seasons. The PSG player's words about a true white legend like Luka Modric are a hypothetical starting point for his signing by the Spanish capital squad. Until that operation can be activated, if it becomes possible, quite some time will have to pass.
