We can't say we saw it coming. Arriving at PSG in the summer of 2021 from Sporting when he was not even 20 years old, Nuno Mendes seemed to embody the new face of PSG. And if we use the imperfect tense to talk about the Portuguese today, it is quite simply because his future in Paris remains more uncertain than ever. In recent weeks, RMC has reported significant progress in the contract extensions of Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha but also Nuno Mendes at PSG.

The last, linked to the capital club until 2026, was one of the priority files piled up on the desk of the Parisian management. It must be said that such promising left-backs are not commonplace, and that despite stubborn injuries suffered in recent months, the Portuguese international remains a force in his position. It is not for nothing that Manchester United had come for information recently.
Discussions at a standstill
Today, we will not go so far as to suggest that Nuno Mendes will be a player of Manchester United or of another club than Paris in the coming months, but that is almost certain RMC Sportis that its extension today generates more doubts than certainties. Contact between PSG and its player would even be broken, the two camps failing to find a common position.

If several offers from Parisian management were made to those around the 22-year-old player, all were refused, outright. As things currently stand, Nuno Mendes believes that the salary offered by the capital club is not in line with his starting status. He would feel cheated somewhere, and that is why he would now see himself somewhere other than Paris. If internally, we continue to believe in an extension of Mendes, which many members of the club are keen to keep, the ball seems more in the player's court. Or else, it will probably be necessary to raise the bill for Mendes to get on his side.
