Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) new midfield signing Vitinha has spoken of the privilege of playing alongside the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe.
Vitinha, 22, has joined PSG from FC Porto in a €40 million (£34 million) move and arrives at the Parc des Princes as part of the Ligue 1 side's new era of signings.
Former OGC Nice head coach Christophe Galtier has succeeded Mauricio Pochettino at the helm in Paris. Vitinha will now join the likes of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in playing under the French tactician.
The Portuguese star has discussed his arrival in the French capital and the opportunity to play alongside some of the top stars in European football.
He told Portuguese outlet RTP:
“It’s a privilege to be able to play and train with them.
The 22-year-old continued:
“They are the best in the world. I’ll definitely learn a lot more from them. That alone is great. To come to the training center and receive me the way they received me, talking with me to help me, I can’t ask for more.”
Vitinha is a central midfielder who has certainly impressed during the past season with FC Porto.
The former Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder made 47 appearances across competitions, scoring four goals and providing five assists.
The PSG man possesses great vision on the ball alongside astute passing abilities.
PSG star Lionel Messi and co. to improve on last season
PSG won the Ligue 1 title last season, which on the face of it was a success and an improvement on their previous outing (when they finished second in the 2020-21 season).
Christophe Galtier had led Lille to a shock Ligue 1 title success in the 2020/2021 campaign at the expense of the Parisians.
The Paris giants reacted with a blockbuster summer transfer window which included the signings of Lionel Messi, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Georginio Wijnaldum.
Lionel Messi's arrival was heralded as a potential catalyst for not only league success but also to claim the much-coveted UEFA Champions League trophy.
However, the Argentine's move to the Parc des Princes didn't improve their European venture as they exited in the Round of 16 stage against Real Madrid last season.
Next season, under Galtier, the Ligue 1 champions will be hoping to fare better in Europe and Vitinha's signing should help them do just that.

If PSG wants to win Champions league, they just have to build the team around Messi, that's the secret of the Barcelona over the years & Mbappe should give in to this request, if he ever wants to win World's Best because through Messi support he will score loads of goals & win champions league.
Oh naa this won’t work with Kylian.. if that happens Messi will take all the glory which is what he doesn’t want ..he’s 23, Messi is 35..it means he has to be in his own shadow not Messi..So this team won’t ever work with 3 players with self ego and self belief… That’s why Madrid is always the greatest.. no ego in the team , young respects the old and everyone trust in each other ..

Midfield works for the forwards. Vitinha knows that the trio controls who plays. Smart.
