Nuno Mendes Close to PSG Contract Extension

According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Nuno Mendes (22) is closing in on signing a contract extension at Paris Saint-Germain, further solidifying his future with the club. Mendes’ current deal is set to expire in the summer of 2026, and PSG have been proactive in their efforts to secure the Portugal international to a new long-term contract that reflects their trust in his abilities and potential.

Since joining PSG, initially on loan from Sporting CP in 2021 before making a permanent switch for €38 million one year later, Mendes has proved to be a valuable asset for the team. Over the course of his time at the club, he has made a remarkable 93 appearances, contributing immensely to their success by winning the Ligue 1 title in each of his seasons. His performances on the pitch have showcased his skills as a full-back, demonstrating not only his defensive capabilities but also his ability to support the attack.

However, Mendes faced significant challenges last season due to a severe hamstring injury and other fitness issues, which limited him to just six appearances in Ligue 1. This included only two starts, one of which came in the final game of the season, denying him the chance to make a more substantial impact on the team during a crucial period.

As the current season unfolds, the Portuguese full-back has returned to the squad with a renewed sense of determination, making 10 appearances in all competitions thus far. He has managed to score once and provide two assists, demonstrating his continued contribution to the side despite being hampered by injury concerns once again. That said, PSG remains undeterred in their desire to extend Mendes’ contract, as they recognize the potential he possesses.

According to Romano, the club is now on the brink of finalizing the details of a deal that will extend Mendes’ stay until 2029. This anticipated contract extension not only represents PSG’s commitment to the player but also their vision for the future, as they aim to build a strong and competitive team capable of achieving great success in both domestic and European competitions. With Mendes in their ranks for the coming years, PSG hopes to leverage his talents and contribute to their ongoing quest for glory in football.
