Although Mendes is officially the first transfer of the Saints this summer, in his case it was not necessary to convince the player to accept the invitation. He wore the Paris Saint-Germain jersey the previous year, played great and forced the club executives to keep him.Opposed to Mendes’ case, there was tension with Porto when it comes to Vitinha’s transfer. The Primeira champion did not want to give up their gem after his first complete season in a blue and white jersey, but the Dragons had to. The limit of 40 million euros, which they set earlier in the agreement with the player for Paris Saint-Germain, is not particularly high. Especially for the financial powerhouse such as PSG.Vitinha is from Santo Tirco near Porto. He is a child of the club from Dragao Stadium, and in September 2020, due to financial problems, he was loaned to Wolverhampton, which refused to buy him off for 20 million euros at the end of the season.
