SHOCKING: Mbappe’s Family in Serious Transfer talk to convince the BLACK CATS Top raided ACE….. This Player must possess alot of Quality.
Alexandre Mendy’s transfer to Sunderland has hit a snag, as Kylian Mbappe’s family attempts to persuade the 30-year-old striker to remain in France.
Earlier reports suggested that Mendy was en route to Sunderland for a medical, having chosen the English club over offers from Sampdoria and Saudi Arabia. However, the situation has become complicated due to the Mbappe family’s involvement in a potential takeover of Mendy’s current club, Caen.
Mendy, who scored 22 goals in Ligue 2 last season, is now expected to meet with the Mbappes to discuss his future. The Guinea-Bissau international, related to former Swansea player Bafetimbi Gomis, had been absent from Caen’s pre-season activities.
Sunderland was reportedly close to securing Mendy for around £4 million, with French media drawing comparisons to Jermain Defoe. Mendy himself had expressed enthusiasm about joining Sunderland, stating that the opportunity left “no more debate” despite lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia.
The potential collapse of this deal could be a setback for Sunderland, who are seeking to bolster their attack before the Championship season begins. While young striker Luis Hemir has shown promise in pre-season and Ian Poveda has been brought in to add creativity, the club may need to explore alternative options if Mendy’s transfer falls through.
