Arriving in 2021 from Sporting Portugal, Nuno Mendes wasted no time in showing that he has great qualities. It is no surprise that Paris Saint-Germain wanted to secure the future with a contract extension (which ends in 2026) of the 22-year-old left back. But there was a blockage and a possible transfer to Manchester United mentioned. According to The Team, the situation has changed again.
« This capitulation is leading to a new about-face. »
“For a few weeks, the atmosphere was tense between the two parties. Until a few days ago, when the player's entourage understood that the Parisian leaders would not open the door. PSG, starting with coach Luis Enrique, rejected the request.
And Manchester United, which does not have an unlimited budget in this transfer window, has therefore decided to close the file with regret and to examine other avenues. This capitulation is leading to a new about-face.
« PSG is still optimistic. »
Mendes' entourage confided to his interlocutors in recent days that the greatest probability today was to see him sign a new contract with Paris. The player, in private, no longer speaks of a departure either. Sportingly, the relaxation made by Luis Enrique at the end of the autumn undoubtedly also helped.
PSG remains optimistic in its ability to reach common ground. It is advisable to remain cautious until nothing is signed. »

All the agitation of the last few weeks could therefore lead to nothing other than the outcome which has always been the most likely. This is a new reminder of the caution to be taken when faced with rumors in a transfer window game that is not simple. There are many settings and various strategies. Here, we could never exclude that Manchester United was mainly mentioned as a result of pressure from the agent. Even if it's not sure either.
In any case, for the moment a transfer has not materialized and an extension still appears possible. Nuno Mendes did not show the slightest lack of concentration with performances that were always interesting and full of effort.
It remains to be seen whether the “new” probable outcome will materialize. You still have to be careful, there is nothing concrete. But we suspect that PSG prefers to keep such talent, especially in a position where great players are rare.
