Caen striker Alexandre Mendy, who used to give his jersey to Norman supporters, will no longer do so, one of them having put it on sale for 299 euros on an online sales site.

A very bad surprise for Alexandre Mendy. Used to offering his jerseys to Stade Malherbe supporters, the top scorer in the history of the Caen club discovered with astonishment that one of them was offered on an online sales site. A “collector” tunic as the ad says, which specifies that it was worn in a match and that it is autographed by the Norman striker. And this jersey in “very good condition” is sold for the modest sum of 299 euros, with payment facilities, from 74.75 euros per month, in three or four installments.

“No more jerseys will be given away”

The person concerned discovered it, and he obviously didn't like it. “We pay for the jerseys. We offer them, you sell them. No more jerseys will be given away. Thank you,” he reacted on Instagram, in a story where we can see a screenshot of the ad in question, to which he added emoticons hiding his face in annoyance. The Caen players receive a set of six jerseys for the entire France Bleu Normandie season, and they must therefore buy more if they end up giving more to their fans, who will therefore no longer be entitled to number 19 of the 30-year-old striker.

Already 7 goals in 11 matches

Top scorer of the last Ligue 2 season, with 22 goals scored, Mendy nevertheless has many opportunities to celebrate and offer his jersey to the supporters, he who already has 7 goals in 11 matches, and is in second place among the best directors of the antechamber of the elite. However, this does not allow the club bought this summer by Kylian Mbappé to survive, since it is in 14th place in the ranking but with the same number of points as its pursuers, Ajaccio, the play-off Troyes and the Red Star, penultimate .
