According to sources in France, Nuno Mendes, the 22-year-old left-back for Paris Saint-Germain, has yet to come to an agreement on a new contract with the club. Despite PSG's interest in extending his contract, Mendes is reportedly eager to leave the club and has even received an offer from Manchester United.
Mendes, who joined PSG in 2022 for a fee of £34 million after an impressive loan season with the French club, originally came up through Sporting CP's academy and was given his first-team debut in 2020 by manager Ruben Amorim. He played a crucial role in Sporting's successful season, helping the team win both the Primeira Liga and the Taca da Liga.
Now in his fourth season with PSG, Mendes' contract is set to expire in 2026. However, talks of a new deal have hit a standstill and Mendes is reportedly looking for a way out of the club. Sources say that United have already made an offer for the talented left-back and that Mendes is open to joining Amorim's side.
Despite United's interest, PSG remains determined to keep Mendes and has no intention of selling him to United during the January transfer window. It's been reported that Amorim has been pushing for United to sign a new left-sided defender, especially with Luke Shaw currently injured and Tyrell Malacia only just returning from a long-term injury.
In addition to Mendes, United has also been linked to RB Leipzig's left-back David Raum. Talks of a potential move for the 26-year-old had already taken place last summer, showing that United is actively looking to strengthen their left-back position.
