What happened: Super-agent Jorge Mendes has confirmed that Portuguese midfielders João Neves and Vitinha will remain at Paris Saint-Germain for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Mendes declared the pair "non-negotiable" for the club, dismissing rumors of potential summer transfers. He stated that both players are happy in Paris and remain focused on collecting more trophies.
Why it matters: Retaining the duo is a significant boost for PSG following their successful defense of the Champions League title. Vitinha was recently named Man of the Match in the 2026 UCL final, and his partnership with Neves has become the backbone of Luis Enrique's midfield. This stability signals PSG's intent to maintain their dominance at the top of European football.
By the numbers: PSG secured their 14th Ligue 1 title in 2026 and defeated Arsenal in the Champions League final on May 30. The club finished the league campaign with 76 points and a +45 goal difference.
What to watch: PSG will now focus on squad reinforcements as they prepare for their title defense in the 2026-27 season.
