Paris Saint-Germain would have an eye on Benjamin Mendy
A former Olympique de Marseille player at Paris Saint-Germain?
According to information from the
Sun
, the club of the French capital would keep an eye on Benjamin Mendy whose situation in Manchester City has become complicated in recent months.
The French international, injured at the start of the season, has no real playing time with the Citizens since his return last November.
Pep Guardiola prefers Joao Cancelo and Oleksandr Zinchenko among others to occupy the left lane of the defense.
Arrived at Manchester City in the summer of 2017 from AS Monaco against a little less than € 60 million, Benjamin Mendy could change tune this summer.
However, this rumor concerning Paris Saint-Germain seems surprising since Leonardo, the Parisian sporting director, recently said he wanted to extend Juan Bernat, whose contract is coming to an end.
Unless the negotiations with the Spanish left-back are difficult?
