Manchester United have suffered a blow in their pursuit of Porto midfielder Vitinha who is set for a medical at Paris Saint-Germain. The 22-year-old has attracted interest from Premier League clubs including United but a €40million (£34m) bid from the French champions will be enough to secure the services of the talented midfielder. The news comes as a blow to United who have made a slow start to the summer transfer window despite a desperate need for reinforcements at Old Trafford.
The news of PSG’s swoop for the Portugal international was reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano who also suggested that news the club’s new sporting advisor Luis Campos was the driving force behind the deal.
Romano tweeted: ‘Paris Saint-Germain have already prepared for medical tests and paperworks to complete Vitinha deal with FC Porto. Deal wanted by Luis Campos, his first signing will be Portuguese.’
Vitinha had a brief stint at Wolves on loan in 2020/21 but struggled to make an impact at the club, scoring once in 22 appearances.
