Juve blocked: Monaco target one step away from the Premier League

Manchester City is just a step away for a deal for Monaco’s Mendy. The French outside back is the number one goal of the Citizens, who are ready to formalize a £ 40m offer to overcome the competition of Liverpool and Juventus who had also been interested in the 22 year old in the past few weeks. Following departures of some of their older players, Pep Guardiola is looking to give his side a bit of a face lift before next season.

Mendy can boast quite an impressive run of experience considering his young age, and his performances for Monaco both in the Ligue 1 and Champions League only helped the young French defender to show his true value. An opportunity to play in the Premier League awaits, amid interest formerly from Italian champions Juventus, who already have Alex Sandro (also rumored to be on Pep’s list) in that position.
