Manchester City must pay their former defender Benjamin Mendy the majority of £11m in wages deducted from his pay packet when he was on rape and sexual assault charges, of which he was later acquitted, an employment tribunal has ruled.
Mendy, who was the world’s most expensive defender when he signed for City in 2017, challenged the Premier League club’s decision to cease paying him from September 2021 until June 2023, when his contract expired.
