PSG player insists he’ll never play for Benfica: Never, never, never | OneFootball

Vitinha, the midfielder for the French team PSG, assured that he will never play for Benfica or Sporting if he returns to his home country. The Portuguese international made it clear that in the National Championship, he only considers representing Porto again - which drew (2-2) at Luz.

“Sporting and Benfica? No, never, never, never. And with respect! They are two great clubs, but I wouldn't play there. Neither in one nor the other”, he stated in an interview with the program “Soltinhos pelo Mundo” on Canal 11. The player explained that he maintains a strong affection for the club where he was trained.

The footballer admitted that he would like to return to Dragão at a more advanced stage of his career, but recognizes that such returns do not always go well: “There are numerous cases where returning to a place where you were very happy doesn't yield great results”, he explained.

Vitinha also emphasized that he has fond memories of his time at Dragão and would like to relive that atmosphere in the future. “I left through the front door. And if I return and things go wrong? The last image is what remains,” he confessed.

Despite this, the midfielder does not hide the connection he maintains with the League. Even being in one of the top teams in Europe, Vitinha admits that he would like to compete in Portugal again one day. “I would love to be in the Portuguese League again, whether in five or 10 years”, he stated.
