Having arrived in 2021 from Sporting Portugal, Nuno Mendes has been quick to show that he has great qualities. Unsurprisingly, Paris Saint-Germain wanted to secure the 22-year-old left-back’s future with a contract extension (which runs until 2026), but there is talk of a stalemate and Manchester United’s desire to sign him. According to The Telegraph, the Parisian club is far from opening this door.
“PSG are trying to persuade him to sign a new contract and it’s not certain that he will ask for a transfer during this period, but there have been several discussions with United.
PSG hope that Mendes will stay and not leave for a club that is not in the Champions League and will not take part in the Club World Cup this summer. Other clubs have also expressed an interest in him.»
We’re cautious, there’s nothing done yet. There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding Nuno Mendes. The British media were almost confident for a while, but we can see that a transfer is a long way off.
An extension is therefore still a real possibility. Even if there’s nothing concrete either. Let’s not forget that all these rumours can be launched by the player’s entourage in order to put pressure on negotiations. All we can do now is wait cautiously for some certainty.
