PSG Respond to Real Madrid’s Audacious Pursuit of Standout Who Pocketed Mohamed Salah | OneFootball

Like many Paris Saint-Germain players in this UEFA Champions League, Nuno Mendes has opened the eyes of football fans who don’t regularly watch them week in and week out. As a result, top European clubs are taking notice of the talent.

Mendes put himself in the spotlight with how he defended Mohamed Salah, taking the Liverpool star out of the equation in the Champions League Round of 16 tie against the Reds.

As a result, Real Madrid have reportedly put the Portuguese player on the radar to bolster their backline. Although it won’t be easy to get the player out of the French capital.

Could Real Madrid really pull a move for Nuno Mendes?

Defensa Central reports that Mendes is Real Madrid’s top target for the left-back position, but PSG are refusing to entertain offers. The 22-year-old signed a contract extension this year, so the Parisians have full control and have no plans to sell.

Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see of Real Madrid try to play the long game as they have reportedly done with Trent Alexander-Arnold. Still, for now, the Spanish side will need to look elsewhere for a left-back.
