PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain’s midfield duo, João Neves and Vitinha, will not be leaving the Parc des Princes this summer. In a definitive statement, super-agent Jorge Mendes has dismissed ongoing transfer speculation, confirming that both players are fully committed to the reigning European champions.

"Non-Negotiable" Talents

Addressing rumors that had linked the Portuguese stars with a high-profile move to Real Madrid, Mendes made it clear that the players are central to PSG’s long-term vision.

"Vitinha and João were never an option for anyone," Mendes stated. "They are non-negotiable for Paris Saint-Germain, and they are very, very happy in PSG they will continue collecting trophies."

Cementing a European Dynasty

The confirmation comes at a time when Paris Saint-Germain is riding a wave of unprecedented success. Under the guidance of manager Luis Enrique, the club recently made history by successfully defending their UEFA Champions League title, defeating Arsenal 4-3 on penalties in the 2026 final in Budapest on May 30.

This back-to-back European triumph following their dominant 2025 campaign has solidified PSG’s status as the current powerhouse of continental football. Both Vitinha and Neves have been instrumental in this period of hegemony, providing the tactical discipline and creative spark that have allowed the club to dominate both Ligue 1 and the Champions League.

The Road Ahead

While Real Madrid and other European giants may have monitored the midfielders' situations, PSG’s stance remains resolute. With a young, world-class core already in place and a track record of lifting the most prestigious trophies in the game, the club is now focused on the quest for a historic "three-peat" in the 2026/27 season.

For PSG supporters, the words of their star agent provide welcome stability as the squad prepares for the upcoming campaign, secure in the knowledge that two of their most influential players will remain at the heart of their quest for more silverware.
