Jorge Mendes confirms João Neves & Vitinha will stay at PSG
Jorge Mendes confirms that both PSG midfielders João Neves and Vitinha will stay in Paris this summer, ending transfer speculation linking them to Real Madrid. The agent reportedly told Madrid directly that neither player wants to leave PSG.
In late May 2026, Mendes reportedly offered Neves, valued at about $120M. However, by early June, both Neves and Vitinha indicated they were staying. Fabrizio Romano corroborated the story.
Neves joined PSG from Benfica in August 2024 on a deal running until June 2029. Vitinha has been with PSG since 2022 and both players have been central to PSG’s back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles.
For Real Madrid, the Jorge Mendes confirms update is a setback to summer midfield plans and may reset expectations around Neves’s valuation benchmark. For PSG, retaining the pair preserves the current midfield core ahead of the next transfer window. Overall, this is a clear sports/transfer headline with no direct connection to crypto markets.

This is a football transfer confirmation and contains no references to cryptocurrencies, tokenomics, exchanges, regulation, or on-chain activity. Therefore, it is unlikely to affect crypto liquidity, risk sentiment, or technical market levels. In past cases where non-crypto corporate or sports headlines lacked market-facing financial links, traders generally ignored them unless they influenced widely held sponsors, listed equities, or broad macro flows—none of that appears here. Short-term crypto impact should be negligible, while any long-term effect is essentially none.
