Real Madrid recently tried a spectacular blow on the transfer market by offering a colossal offer of 200 million pounds to attach the services of Nuno Mendes, the young left side of Paris Saint-Germain. In addition to this astronomical sum, the Spanish club offered a five -year contract with one of the highest wages for a defender. The goal was clear: to strengthen the left side of the Madrid defense and prepare for the post-Ferland Mendy. However, to everyone’s surprise, Nuno Mendes declined this attractive offer, provoking enormous relief and an explosion of joy among Parisian supporters.
According to sources close to the file, the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, saw in Mendes a pillar for the future of the club. Known for his ambitious recruitment policy, Pérez did not hesitate to approach the player and his entourage directly, hoping that such a generous proposal would tip the balance in favor of the Merengue. However, Mendes’ response was immediate and unambiguous: “My future is here, Paris is my house now. These nine words, simple but powerful, circulated on social networks in a few minutes and were widely shared by PSG fans, who praised the loyalty of their young star.
Nuno Mendes won only 22 years old as one of the best left rear in Europe since arriving at PSG from Sporting CP. His speed, his ability to defend and project himself into an attack make him a complete player, essential in the Parisian game system. Despite the numerous injuries that have slowed down in recent months, he has always displayed an exemplary mentality and a desire to fight for the Paris jersey.
The management of PSG, already informed of the interest of Real, had anticipated the movement by preparing a contract extension accompanied by a salary revaluation. This gesture testifies to the total confidence that the club gives to Mendes for the years to come. Luis Campos, PSG sports advisor, said in an interview: “We know that Nuno is coveted, but he feels good here and he knows that Paris is betting on him. »»
The case, which could have created an earthquake on the transfer market, finally turned into a symbolic victory for PSG. It shows that beyond money, some players place the club attachment and the continuity of their sports project in the foreground. For Parisian supporters, this loyalty is worth as much as a trophy.
