Vitinha’s influence at Paris Saint-Germain has been rewarded after the Portuguese midfielder was voted by his teammates as the new vice-captain, stepping in as the official deputy to long-serving skipper Marquinhos.
The 25-year-old, who joined PSG from FC Porto in 2022, has quickly grown into one of the most reliable performers in Luis Enrique’s system. His leadership recognition came just a day after he marked his 100th Ligue 1 appearance in PSG’s 1-1 draw with Lille.
According to Foot Mercato, the decision was made following a players’ vote, reflecting the trust and respect Vitinha commands in the dressing room. Once seen as a rising talent, he is now firmly part of PSG’s leadership core, a sign of his maturity and consistency.
Under Luis Enrique, PSG have placed more emphasis on collective spirit and balance, with Vitinha emerging as one of the cornerstones of the team. His new role not only strengthens the leadership group but also points to PSG’s long-term commitment to building around players who combine quality with responsibility.
