Real Madrid just got a door closed in its face. Jorge Mendes, the Portuguese super-agent who represents both João Neves and Vitinha, has confirmed that his two prized midfielders will remain at Paris Saint-Germain this summer, shutting down weeks of transfer speculation that had linked both players to a move to the Spanish capital.
The message, reportedly delivered directly to Real Madrid, is about as unambiguous as transfer news gets. Neither player wants to leave PSG.
From offer to rejection: how the saga unfolded
In late May 2026, Mendes reportedly offered Neves to Real Madrid and other clubs, with the midfielder valued at around $120M. By the first week of June 2026, both Neves and Vitinha had made their positions clear. They were staying put.
Mendes then called Madrid and delivered the news directly. Fabrizio Romano corroborated the story.
