PSG consider midfield duo ‘untouchable’ amid Real Madrid’s plans to launch €150 million bid | OneFootball

Real Madrid appear to have rattled a lot of big clubs in the market this summer thanks to Florentino Perez’s promise of launching a mega €150 million bid to sign a top player, provided he wins the presidency.

Three players have emerged as the main contenders for the €150 million bid. One of them is Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise, with Real Madrid already preparing a raid on Bayern.

But the other two – Vitinha and Joao Neves – belong to Paris Saint-Germain, the only team apart from Real Madrid to secure back-to-back Champions League titles in its current rendition.

According to Fabrizio Romano, PSG are certainly not considering any proposal to sell their treasured midfield duo Vitinha and Neves.

The club consider them ‘untouchable’ and are not willing to listen to offers, regardless of how much a team puts on the table.

The message from the PSG hierarchy is clear: Retain the core of the team that has managed to secure two back-to-back Champions League titles and go for a third on in a row.

Neves and Vitinha, to that end, are considered invaluable assets to the team and therefore, it is unlikely PSG would consider selling either of them.

Given that Neves and Vitinha are seemingly out of the picture, particularly given Real Madrid’s relationship with PSG, Olise is the only reported option left.

Bayern Munich, though, are equally keen on keeping hold of the French international and are not even willing to listen to offers in the range of €200 million.

Real Madrid, though, will no doubt test the waters at not only Bayern but also PSG as they look to sign at least one Galactico this summer.
