Nuno Mendes reveals all about his new PSG contract extension

Nuno Mendes, the 23-year-old left-back for Paris Saint-Germain and Portugal, opened up to AFP in an interview published this Monday. It was an opportunity to look back in particular on his arrival at PSG in 2021 and his contract extension last winter, at a time when there were persistent rumors of talks with Manchester United.

Nuno Mendes: “I always wanted to stay here, to take PSG to the highest level.”

“Your adventure in Paris started on loan, did that put pressure on you? It was a different country, a different language, but I was lucky to have (the Portuguese) Danilo here, he helped me a lot. I tried to learn French quickly so I could get out of the house. It’s a big club with great players, I wanted to be a part of it. Last year, you extended your contract until 2029 with an additional year as an option. Did you have other offers? No. My agent spoke a lot with the president, I always wanted to stay here, to take PSG to the highest level. It was something both sides wanted. It’s a pleasure to play here.”

Obviously, Nuno Mendes needed a bit of time to adapt. It was his first club change, along with moving to another country. That’s a significant milestone. He was only 19 at the time, and had to find his bearings in a different culture and a group where expectations are high.

The Portuguese player gradually made his mark and is now indispensable at PSG. This came with a contract extension about a year ago, after many rumors—most notably, a possible transfer to Manchester United. The denial is clear.

We know there might have been something going on, but we can only trust the player. His priority was clear, the agreement was reached, and the contract was signed to the satisfaction of all parties. Not to mention the fans, happy to see such a player commit to Paris for the long term. And he seems to have a real affection for the club.
