Having arrived in 2021 from Sporting Portugal, Nuno Mendes has been quick to show that he has great qualities. Unsurprisingly, Paris Saint-Germain sought to secure the future of the 22-year-old left-back by extending his contract (which expires in 2026), but Djamel confirms the trend of recent days: a departure.
Right from the start of discussions, he let the club know that he was open to an extension, which made PSG very confident, and talks were progressing…
“Nuno Mendes and his entourage have therefore informed the club that they will consider a departure under these conditions.”
“Regarding Nuno, the Portuguese full-back is currently one of the lowest-paid players in the squad.
Right from the start of discussions, he let the club know that he was open to an extension, which made PSG very confident, and discussions were progressing well.
Manchester United and other clubs approached his entourage. Manchester United made an offer to the player, proposing an attractive salary.
Rúben Amorim made the player a priority, and Nuno was flattered to feel so valued.
The management informed his agent that they did not wish to offer the salary requested.
Nuno Mendes and his entourage therefore informed the club that they would consider a departure under these conditions.
Internally, the club remains optimistic that this is simply a pressure tactic on the part of his clan to obtain the salary demanded. Wait and see… ”
Mind you, there’s nothing official yet. But to see this source and RMC Sport going in the same direction in such a short space of time is a sign that there is at least a certain blockage. Secondly, we’re wary of details. Especially in a negotiation “game” where pressure tactics are classic.
Except that they can also be very concrete, with Nuno Mendes possibly considering a departure. It’s a suspense and tension we could have done without in this mid-season period. Is it enough to upset PSG’s winter mercato?
It’s a little early to say, but it’s an important issue. Let’s wait and see where the next few days take us, between discussions, negotiations, rumours and perhaps some concrete elements.
