Real Madrid’s €150m bid for Julian Alvarez was rejected, while agent Jorge Mendes ruled out PSG exits for Vitinha and Neves during a Madrid meeting.
Florentino Perez is ready to splash the cash, but Real Madrid’s opening summer blockbuster has hit a wall. The club launched a staggering €150 million bid for Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez, which was promptly turned down.
In the wake of the rejection, Los Blancos chiefs Juni Calafat and Jose Angel Sanchez were spotted at a Madrid hotel meeting with super-agent Jorge Mendes and manager Jose Mourinho. While rumors swirled that PSG stars Vitinha and Joao Neves were on the table, Mendes firmly shut down those whispers, declaring the duo “non-negotiable” in Paris.
Instead, reports indicate the high-profile meeting centered on strengthening Madrid’s defense, with Manchester City powerhouse Ruben Dias emerging as a primary target.
