The winter transfer window will begin on Wednesday January 1, 2025 in France. Clubs like OM, Rennes, Monaco, Lyon and PSG plan to be particularly active during this transfer period. As for the capital club, a twist seems imminent on a hot issue!
Nuno Mendes, a rising star of Paris Saint-Germain, now finds himself at the heart of a burning issue. While his contract extension seemed almost finalized a few weeks ago, the situation suddenly became tense. Between financial disagreements and uncertainties about his future, the Portuguese full-back, considered one of the best in his position, could turn the page in Paris. An unexpected twist which places the PSG facing a major challenge as the transfer window approaches.
Arriving in 2021, Nuno Mendes quickly established himself as an essential element of Paris Saint-Germain. Indisputable starter despite several recent injuries, the young 22-year-old Portuguese is one of the best at his left-back position. However, while his contract extension until 2026 seemed well underway a few weeks ago, Mendes would have rejected the offers proposed by PSG. Believing that his salary does not match his status, he is now considering leaving, attracting the attention of Manchester United in particular.

An unexpected departure!
Negotiations between the player and the Parisian club are currently at a standstill. Mendes and his entourage refused outright the proposals made by management, breaking off the dialogue. This disagreement places PSG in a delicate position, because the player, frustrated by what he perceives as a lack of recognition, is now planning elsewhere. The Parisian club still hopes to reach an agreement, but the situation seems to depend more on Mendes' financial demands and PSG's openness to meeting them.
Despite these tensions, PSG does not want to part ways with Nuno Mendes, whom many consider essential. However, if negotiations do not resume quickly, Mendes could seriously consider a departure, and other major European clubs could position themselves. With the winter transfer window approaching, this issue could become one of the main soap operas to watch. To avoid losing a rare talent, PSG may have to review their priorities and offer a more convincing offer to their young full-back.
