PSG formalized this Tuesday evening, shortly after midnight, the arrival on loan of young Portuguese defender Nuno Mendes.
« the Paris Saint Germain is pleased to announce the arrival in its squad of Nuno Mendes. The Portuguese side is loaned by Sporting Clube de Portugal to the Parisian club until June 30, 2022. The loan comes with a purchase option », We can read in a press release from the capital.
« The native of Sintra, in the district of Lisbon, is trained at Sporting Clube de Portugal where he turns professional in 2019. He participates in 47 meetings (1 goal, 3 assists) with the Lusitano club and helps the team to win the title of Champion of Portugal as well as the League Cup, in 2021. Nuno Mendes has been selected for the national team in all youth categories since the U16s. He made his A-team debut to face Azerbaijan on March 24, 2021. The 19-year-old defender played 5 matches for Portugal, before being called up by Fernando Santos to compete in the UEFA Euro 2020 “, Continues the PSG by way of presentation.
What about Bernat?
Nuno Mendes thus reinforces a position that has looked like a weak link until then in the Parisian workforce. Since the start of the season, Abdou Diallo has been playing firefighters on the left lane, when Layvin Kurzawa does not seem to fit into Mauricio Pochettino’s plans. Juan Bernat, for his part, remains convalescent to this day, almost a year after his rupture of the cruciate ligaments in his left knee. Note also the formalization of the departure of Pablo Sarabia for Sporting. As part of a one year loan there too.
