JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain star Vitinha says it would be foolish for him to consider leaving the Ligue 1 giants amid rumours of interest from Real Madrid.
The Portuguese midfielder, believed to be one of Real Madrid's main targets for the upcoming summer transfer window, has a contract with PSG until June 2029.
Asked about a potential transfer to Real Madrid, the 26-year-old emphatically stated his refusal.
"It would be stupid to leave! I think it's not the best thing for me right now. I feel very comfortable at PSG. I'm happy to be at PSG, as is my family."
"We have a fantastic team and an incredible coach. I feel that people really appreciate me and I feel that I have earned that affection," Vitinha told Canal 11.
Vitinha has lifted 11 trophies, including Ligue 1, the Champions League and the Coupe de France (French Cup) last season, since arriving in the French capital in 2022 from FC Porto.
The Portuguese player closed an incredible 2025 by finishing third in the Ballon d'Or poll, behind Barcelona's talented young player, Lamine Yamal, and his PSG teammate, Ousmane Dembele.
In fact, the tempting offer from Saudi Arabia will not tempt Vitinha to leave Les Parisiens.
"Don't be naive. I'm more committed to having a stable career. I've made a lot of money here in Europe, at big clubs."
"Double or triple the salary won't make me happier," Vitinha said when asked about his future in the Saudi Pro League.
Vitinha has scored six goals and eight assists in 34 appearances for PSG. Les Parisiens, coached by Luis Enrique, are top of the Ligue 1 table and will host Chelsea in the opening match of the Champions League 16th round on March 11, 2026 local time.
