The Euro 2024 quarter-final between France and Portugal (Friday at 9 p.m.) will be the occasion for a meeting of about a dozen Paris Saint-Germain players. Gestifute, the agency of Jorge Mendes, will also be well represented.
The stakes are probably too high to imagine any light-hearted discussion in the tunnel of Hamburg's Volksparkstadion, the scene of Friday's European Championship quarter-final between France and Portugal (9pm). Otherwise, PSG would surely be at the heart of the discussions of around a dozen players in this top-of-the-table clash.

The capital club will already be well represented in the France-Portugal clash. Between Danilo, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Gonzalo Ramos, Warren Zaire-Emery, Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani and Kylian Mbappé, nine players have scored in this season's quarter-finals for Paris Saint-Germain.
19 players from Jorge Mendes agency
Gestifute, the agency of Jorge Mendes, is also well represented. In total, 19 players from the French and Portuguese national teams (Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Gonçalo Ramos, Ruben Dias, Bernardo Silva, Pedro Neto, João Neves, Diogo Jota, Antonio Silva, Diogo Costa, Ruben Neves, João Cancelo) and (Francisco Conceicao, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nelson Semedo, Pepe, José Sa and Rui Patricio) are in Jorge Mendes' squad.
This over-representation can obviously be explained by the omnipresence of the Portuguese agent within the Seleção. But Luis Campos, PSG's strategic advisor, also relies heavily on the talents of Jorge Mendes' team. Apart from the Portuguese, Manuel Ugarte and Marco Asensio, for example, have put their trust in Gestifute. It is also not uncommon to see players represented by Jorge Mendes linked to PSG in transfer rumours (Bernardo Silva, João Neves, Lenny Yoro, etc.)
