Real Madrid is preparing to strengthen its midfield lineup during the next season, with the Portuguese player Vitinha emerging as the first choice among fans, according to a poll conducted by the Spanish newspaper 'AS'. This poll showed his clear superiority over other candidates competing to wear the royal club's jersey.

The list of candidates alongside Vitinha includes Enzo Fernandez, Kees Smit, and Wharton, as the club seeks to identify a creative midfielder capable of providing the team with balanced offensive strength. The fans showed a great preference for Vitinha, with more than 21,000 votes, representing 47% of the votes.

Kees Smit came in second place with 16%, while Rodri came in third place despite not being among Real Madrid's priorities. Enzo Fernandez came in fourth, followed by Wharton and Mac Allister, while the least preferred among the fans followed in succession.

The results illustrate the club supporters' desire to include a player who can make a difference in the midfield, which makes Vitinha the most suitable option according to their assessment, as he is characterized by skill and the ability to adapt to the demands of fast and direct play.

The final decision now rests with Real Madrid's management to determine the midfielder who will occupy this position, knowing that signing Vitinha will not be easy, as his price is estimated at more than 100 million euros, making him the only option that may require the royal club to make an additional financial effort to acquire him.
