After weeks of uncertainty, PSG supporters can take a breath… According to information from l'Equipe, Nuno Mendes now seems set to extend his adventure with PSG. The 22-year-old Portuguese full-back, linked to the club until 2026, experienced a tumultuous winter. Despite an initial agreement to extend his contract, financial disagreements and sporting frustration led him to consider a move to Manchester United. His former coach at Sporting Portugal, Ruben Amorim, now at the head of the Red Devils, had also initiated contacts with a view to a transfer.
Nuno Mendes now close to extending his contract
Restricted to a defensive role under the strict instructions of Luis Enrique, Mendes felt restricted. However, the Spanish coach has recently made tactical adjustments, giving his full-back more attacking freedom, a move which has helped ease tensions. Despite serious interest from Manchester United, limited by its financial means this winter, PSG closed the door to a departure anyway.
The inflexibility of Parisian leaders seems to be bearing fruit. The player's entourage now suggests that the probability of an extension is high, and Mendes is no longer talking about leaving. Paris has never hidden its intention to keep it, considering it a key element for the future despite its physical fragility. This appeasement comes at the ideal time for the Parisians, who are preparing to face crucial deadlines, notably Manchester City in the Champions League.
