Jorge Mendes: João Neves and Vitinha Will Not Leave PSG

Super-agent Jorge Mendes has delivered a definitive statement regarding the futures of Portuguese midfielders João Neves and Vitinha at Paris Saint-Germain. In an exclusive interview, Mendes declared that neither player is available for transfer, describing them as "non-negotiable" for the Ligue 1 champions.

Mendes: Players Were Never an Option

“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.”

The agent’s remarks put an end to speculation linking the duo with moves away from the Parc des Princes. Both players have been integral to PSG’s midfield under manager Luis Enrique, contributing to the club’s domestic dominance and Champions League ambitions.

Vitinha’s Role at PSG

Vitinha, 24, joined PSG from Porto in 2022 and has established himself as a key playmaker. His technical ability and vision have made him a regular starter, and he has been linked with several top European clubs. Mendes’s statement confirms that PSG has no intention of parting with the midfielder.

João Neves: A Rising Star

João Neves, 19, emerged as one of Portugal’s brightest talents at Benfica before moving to PSG in 2024. Despite his young age, he has quickly become a vital part of the squad, known for his energy and passing range. Mendes’s insistence on his non-negotiable status underscores PSG’s long-term planning.

PSG’s Transfer Strategy

The confirmation aligns with PSG’s recent policy of retaining core talent while building around young, high-potential players. The club has shifted away from marquee signings in favor of developing a cohesive squad, and both Neves and Vitinha are central to that vision.

Mendes, who represents numerous top footballers, rarely makes such unequivocal statements, adding weight to the declaration. PSG fans can expect to see the duo continue their partnership in midfield for the foreseeable future.
