The criticism was apparently not taken lightly


by Vitinha and was ready to leave Parc des
Princes until he was convinced otherwise
by his compatriot Danilo Pereira.

However, the player has spoken out and has


termed the reports as "completely false".

WHAT THEY SAID: "I don't usually comment


on anything in the press, but this time I have
to say it. It is completely false that this
happened," he wrote on X.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: From being a fringe


figure under Christophe Galtier, Vitinha has
established himself as one of the key
members of the PSG dressing room with his
consistent performances. He was one of the
influential figures on the pitch against
Dortmund in the Champions League on
Tuesday, as the Parisians registered a
comfortable 2-0 victory.
