Edouard Mendy's Chelsea future in doubt after 'disrespectful' contract snub

Edouard Mendy reportedly feels 'disrespected' by Chelsea after turning down a mammoth six-year contact offer.

The 30-year-old goalkeeper is believed to want parity with teammate Kepa Arrizabalaga 's wages, despite the Spaniard recently usurping him to the No.1 spot. Mendy, now back with Blues after turning out for Senegal at the World Cup, finds himself in a stand-off with club chiefs, who're said to have withdrawn their long-term proposal and put three European clubs on alert.

According to the Sun, Mendy - whose £100,000-a-week deal at Stamford Bridge doesn't expire until 2025 - has been playing hardball in negotiations this season and feels mistreated given his efforts for the club since arriving in the summer of 2020. The news is said to have prompted AC Milan, Nice and Monaco to show interest in snapping him up.
