The former Skyblues left-back would not have been paid between 2021, the year of his arrest, until the end of his contract in 2023.
After receiving a bankruptcy order for a tax debt of almost £800,000 from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), Benjamin Mendy decided to take action. The 30-year-old left-back has decided to take legal action against his former club, Manchester City, who owe him the sum of 11 million pounds according to The Telegraph .
Mendy was suspended by City in August 2021 after being accused of four counts of rape and was denied his £6 million annual salary while awaiting trial. After being acquitted of all charges last year, he filed a complaint against the club, claiming other players at the club had been partying around the time of the allegations.
