Liverpool targets Paris Saint-Germain midfielder for January transfer move say sources
Liverpool is actively monitoring Paris Saint-Germain’s Portuguese midfielder Vitinha as the January transfer window approaches, according to sources in the agents’ industry. The Premier League champions are exploring potential signings to enhance their midfield options under manager Arne Slot.
Liverpool’s Interest in Vitinha
At 25 years old, Vitinha has made 169 appearances for PSG, netting 21 goals and contributing 22 assists. The club’s scouting team has highlighted him as one of Europe’s most technically proficient midfielders.
Vitinha’s Skills and Style of Play
- Composure under pressure
- Resistance to pressing
- Intelligent ball distribution
His capability to control the pace of the match and advance the ball through the midfield makes him a fitting addition to Liverpool’s tactical setup. This style of play aligns with the profile the club has sought since Thiago Alcântara’s departure.
Contract and Valuation
Despite Liverpool’s interest, a formal approach is unlikely unless one of their current midfielders departs in January. Vitinha moved to PSG from Porto in 2022, and his progress in Ligue 1 has been noteworthy. Currently, he is under contract until 2029, and PSG considers him “untouchable.”
Potential Transfer Fee
Recent reports indicate that an offer around €130 million might entice PSG to entertain negotiations. Such a steep valuation is within reach for only a select group of clubs, including Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich. Both Arsenal and Juventus are also keeping a close watch on his situation.
Vitinha’s Career Ambitions
The midfielder faces a pivotal decision regarding his future. While PSG remains dominant domestically, a move to the Premier League could present new challenges as he enters the prime of his career. Regardless of Liverpool’s timing—whether in January or later in the summer—one thing remains clear: Vitinha is a coveted player with numerous admirers across Europe.
