Nuno Mendes celebrated his 100th appearance in the PSG jersey on Sunday against Monaco. Did the club offer him a medal for the occasion, while waiting for a new contract?
Arriving at PSG in the summer of 2021 in the form of a paying loan with an option to purchase, Nuno Mendes is already playing his fourth season in Paris and played his 100th match in Parisian colors on Sunday against Monaco. The 22-year-old Portuguese left-back could have reached this mark a long time ago without his nasty ischio injury which kept him away from the field for almost 10 months, from May 2023 to February 2024.
However, there is no reason to deny pleasure after having crossed this symbolic bar: “I am very happy. Very happy to have played my hundredth match. I have to say thank you to all my teammates, to the coaches who have been here at Paris Saint-Germain, I am very happy. And with a trophy, it’s even more beautiful”he reacted with a smile on Sunday at the microphone of PSG TV after winning the Champions Trophy.
Luis Campos offered a medal to Nuno Mendes
Like Gianluigi Donnarumma last February, Nuno Mendes was presented with a medal from PSG to celebrate his 100th appearance in Rouge et Bleu. A medal transmitted by Luis Campos in person on the Parisian bus following the Parisian 1-0 victory against Monaco. The very smiling attitude of the Portuguese sports advisor of PSG is surprising given the contractual news of his compatriot.
A vague future, and not decided immediately
As he reaches the end of his contract at PSG in June 2026, Nuno Mendes has in fact rejected the club's latest extension proposals, particularly unhappy with the new salary proposed. Manchester United, whose new coach Ruben Amorim is Portuguese and has the same agents as Nuno Mendes, is one of the clubs which would like to recruit the Parisian left-back, whose future remains unclear.
Sky Sports in England and Germany have again mentioned the file today and MU is not the only club interested in the left-handed puncher, since three other very high level clubs are said to be monitoring the Portuguese file without their names being mentioned. filter. While a transfer during the winter now seems ruled out given that Paris has completely closed the door to this possibility, the idea of a departure next summer just one year before the end of his contract remains unfortunately possible.
Whatever the future of Nuno Mendes, however, no decision is expected in the short term according to this source.
