Paris Saint-Germain is plunged into an internal storm following an unexpected and controversial decision taken by President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. This decision, which amazed the two offensive stars Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué, threatens to fracture the unity of the Parisian wardrobe. According to sources close to the club, Al-Khelaïfi has decided to separate from a key player, very close to the attacker duo, despite their fierce opposition. The player in question, whose name has not yet been officially confirmed, does not wish to leave the club of its own free will, but he now seems on the verge of a forced outing.
Rumors point to Vitinha, the Portuguese midfielder, as the target of this decision. Considered an essential element by coach Luis Enrique for his vision of the game and his ability to connect the community and the attack, Vitinha would be in the viewfinder due to financial constraints related to financial fair play. PSG, always under pressure to balance its accounts after massive investments, would plan to give up the player to a foreign club, with destinations like Saudi Arabia or the Premier League often mentioned.
Dembélé and Goué, who developed a strong bond with Vitinha on and off the field, would have been shocked to learn this news, apparently relayed by the press before any internal communication. Dembélé, known for his role as a leader in the locker room, would have expressed his dissatisfaction directly to management, while Goué, a young prodigy in full Ascension, stressed the importance of Vitinha for the balance of the team. This decision comes at a critical moment, while PSG tries to bounce back after its humiliating defeat against Chelsea (3-0) in the Champions League, a reverse which has already put Luis Enrique under pressure.
The tension is palpable within the locker room, where figures like Marquinhos and Gianluigi Donnarumma would also have pleaded for Vitinha to remain, stressing her tactical importance and his positive impact on the group. Al-Khelaïfi, however, seems determined to move forward, arguing that sacrifices are necessary to finance new talents and maintain the competitiveness of the club. This situation raises questions about the management of the Parisian president, criticized for his sometimes authoritarian choices.
While the next few days will be decisive, this case could have lasting repercussions on the atmosphere at PSG. Supporters, already frustrated by recent results, are waiting for clear explanations. Will the question remain: will Al-Khelaïfi give in to the pressure of the locker room, or will Vitinha become the symbol of a PSG in search of balance between sporting ambition and economic constraints?
