Edouard Mendy was right to reject Chelsea’s ‘disrespectful’ and perhaps even racist contract offer
Contract talks between Chelsea and Edouard Mendy have broken down again after the Senegalese goalkeeper rejected a six-year deal.
However, the player is said to be uninterested in moving away from Inter Milan, as he only recently moved there from Ajax.
Chelsea are expected to face competition from Manchester United, who are expected to be in the market and are said to have also made enquiries for the goalkeeper.
Onana has been impressive this season, and despite Inter falling by a huge margin behind Napoli, his performances have helped the Nerrazurri reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
The Cameroonian has kept 14 clean sheets in all competitions this season, and according to Fbref, he ranks in the 98th percentile for save percentage.
Mendy's contract situation
As we reported earlier, Chelsea are said to have opened the door to a Mendy exit as both parties are yet to reach an agreement.
