Convex lens produces both real and virtual images.

But concave lens produces only virtual images for real objects. If object is virtual then real image could be produced by a concave lens.

Convex (converging) lenses can form a virtual image when the object is closer to the lens than the focal point.

Concave (diverging) lenses always form virtual images.

Why will a diverging lens never produce a real image?

A diverging lens can only produce a virtual image, because the light passing through a diverging lens never converges to a point. The virtual image produced by a diverging lens is always right-side-up and smaller than the original object. The image and the object viewed are always on the same side of the lens. Diverging lenses are used as viewfinders in cameras.
