Breakout Year for PSG and Portugal
The 2025 season underscored Vitinha's breakout form with Paris Saint-Germain and his national team, contributing to PSG's historic sextuple and helping Portugal push toward World Cup qualification, a run fans have affectionately dubbed the “Brazil of Europe.”
Interest from Europe’s Heavyweights
With performances matching his rising reputation, Real Madrid are reportedly weighing a move to reinforce their midfield after anticipated departures of Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić. The Globe Soccer ceremony in Dubai highlighted Vitinha's ascent as one of world football's elite talents.
