Famous transfer journalist Romano posted on social media: According to well-known agent Mendes, Paris Saint-Germain midfielders Vitinha and João Neves will not join Real Madrid this summer, and the two Portuguese internationals will continue to play for Paris.
Previously, some media reported that Real Madrid was interested in introducing Vitinha and João Neves to further strengthen the team's midfield. However, Mendes explicitly denied the relevant rumors in an interview.
Mendes said: "Vitinha and João Neves have never been targets that any club can operate on. They are not for sale to Paris Saint-Germain, and both are very, very happy to play for Paris Saint-Germain, and they will continue to win trophies here."
Vitinha, 25, joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2022 and has grown into one of the team's midfield core; João Neves, 20, transferred from Benfica to Paris in the summer of 2024 and is also considered a key player in the club's future plans.
With Mendes' public statement, rumors about the two Portuguese midfielders possibly moving to Real Madrid have temporarily come to an end.
