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. According to more than one media outlet, it’s practically a done deal. But journalist Florian Plettenberg (Sky Sport) warns of doubts and interest from Manchester United.
“Manchester United remain strongly interested in Nuno #Mendes as revealed in our show three weeks ago
Paris Saint-Germain want to extend with Mendes beyond 2026, but I’ve been told that it is currently not planned for him to sign soon, as there are many top suitors. Mendes and Amorim share the same agency, and MUFC are aware of Mendes’ situation!
22 y/o Mendes and Theo Hernández are currently the two expensive preferred left-back options for ManUtd if Alphonso Davies extends his contract with Bayern”
We can agree with the journalist that Nuno Mendes has the qualities and potential to attract some very big clubs. And they can all try their luck, especially as long as no contract extension has been made official. Manchester United could well be tempted.
However, we must remain cautious, as this is just a rumour. Which has not the slightest concrete element. Many media outlets have stated that the contract extension has been settled, so this remains the strongest trend. Even if, as we must bear in mind, there has been no official confirmation.
There’s nothing to panic about yet, but it’s clear that some communication from PSG would be welcome.
