Tottenham wants to sign Mendy as Lloris’s replacement. Mendy has a contract with Chelsea until 2025, but it is believed that the club would be willing to sell him for around £26 million this summer. Tottenham are reportedly interested in making a surprise move for Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy as the north London club looks for a replacement for Hugo Lloris.
There have been recent rumors that Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy could be on the move this summer. The Senegalese international has been a key player for the Blues since his arrival in 2020, but he has struggled for form this season.
There are a number of clubs reportedly interested in Mendy, including AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Monaco. It is believed that Chelsea would be willing to sell the goalkeeper for around £26 million.
Mendy’s future at Chelsea is uncertain, but it is clear that he is a talented goalkeeper who could be a valuable asset to any club. It will be interesting to see where he ends up this summer.
Here are some additional details about the rumors:
In March 2023, it was reported that Inter Milan were interested in signing Mendy. The Italian club is looking for a new goalkeeper after Samir Handanovic’s contract expires at the end of the season.
In December 2022, it was reported that AC Milan were also interested in signing Mendy. The Rossoneri are looking for a long-term replacement for Gianluigi Donnarumma, who left the club for Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
In September 2020, Mendy joined Chelsea from Rennes for a fee of £22 million. He quickly established himself as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper, helping them win the Champions League in 2021.
