Sources: Real Madrid’s Super League exit could be key to signing PSG star | OneFootball

Real Madrid’s decision to step away from the Super League project may end up having consequences beyond boardroom politics. 

The move is now being linked to a possible improvement in relations with Paris Saint-Germain, something that could prove useful in the transfer market.

In a recent revelation made by Defensa Central, it has come to light that Real Madrid’s decision to abandon the Super League project could help them in signing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha.

The relationship between the two clubs has not always been smooth, as the long and dramatic Kylian Mbappe saga created a clear distance between Madrid and PSG, with tensions running high for months. 

However, that period now appears to be fading into the background, and communication between the two sides has reportedly improved.

What’s the reason?

One of the reasons for this calmer atmosphere is the influence of PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi in European football’s governing bodies. 

With his leadership role in the ECA, he now operates in closer proximity to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez. 

That shift has helped create a more cooperative environment between the clubs, which could be important if negotiations ever take place.

As a result, there is an understanding that bringing Vitinha to Madrid would still be a very complicated operation. 

The Portuguese midfielder is one of the pillars of PSG, and the Ligue 1 club is not in a position where they need to sell. 

Even so, the feeling is that the chances of opening talks are better than they were a few months ago.

Things can change

There has also been speculation about a possible exit clause in the player’s contract, with some reports claiming he could leave for around €100 million. 

However, sources close to PSG have dismissed those claims and insist that the midfielder is fully committed to the club, with a contract that runs until 2029.

Real Madrid are aware of the difficulty of the situation, especially given Vitinha’s importance to the reigning European champions. 

Still, the attraction of the Spanish giants remains powerful in world football. 

The chance to play at the Santiago Bernabeu and become part of Madrid’s history is something that can influence even the most settled players.
