I went to Saudi for trophies, not money – Mendy

“Money is not everything for me. I am a competitive player and I want to win as many trophies as possible in my career,” said Mendy in a recent interview.

However, Mendy remains unfazed by the criticism, stating that he is focused on achieving his goals and helping his new team succeed.

“I believe that I can make a positive impact at the club and contribute to their success on the field. Winning trophies is what drives me as a player,” added Mendy.

Time will tell whether Mendy’s decision to pursue trophies over money will pay off in the long run, but one thing is for certain – his determination and passion for the game are unwavering.
