Man City handed boost in hunt to land Benjamin Mendy
The reigning French league champions have now completed the transfer of Feyenoord left-back Terence Kongolo – meaning that the door has now swung open for Man City manager to come in and secure a deal for Mendy.
The Manchester club have seen wing-backs Pablo Zabaleta, Jesus Navas, Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy all leave the club, with Mendy as a top priority in the summer transfer window.
Monaco have already had summer dealings with City this window, with their attacker Bernardo Silva moving to the Etihad for a fee reported as around £43.5m.
But it looks as if City manager Pep Guardiola dosent want to rest on his laurels, as he is planning a major squad overhaul, including that of 22-year-old Mendy, in order to improve on City’s underwhelming performance last season.
