DBasia.news – Real Madrid defender, Ferland Mendy, stated that he had turned down an offer to defend Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) a few years ago.
Ferland Mendy is one of the PSG academy dropout players. The player spent eight years at the Les Parisien academy before finally leaving for Le Havre and achieving success with Lyon.
“A few years ago, I had the chance to play at PSG. But, I wan’t too interested in the offer they presented, “Mendy said.
“At that time, I agreed to join Lyon and had already left PSG when I was younger. At that time, they began to provide opportunities to play after my football career was almost over because of the possibility of an amputation, “he continued.
“I am a native of Paris and my family will be present at the Parc des Princes to watch the match. So, the match will have a quite special meaning for me, “added Mendy.
