moore_94 Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 Galatasaray are interested again - also a suggestion he could leave for free... https://ajansspor.com/haber/iste-aslanin-yeni-orta-sahasi-1-5-milyon-euroya-607087 After the transfer of Abdülkerim Bardakçı, Galatasaray focused on the search for a football player who can play both ways in the midfield, and a surprise name came up. Here are the details... The biggest goal of the technical team in Galatasaray before the new season is to create a solid midfield. While the names such as Ndombele, İdrissa Gueye, Morgan Sanson and William Carvalho are on the list among the yellow-red people who continue their work in this direction, the Senegalese football player Nampalys Mendy, who has been on the agenda in the past seasons, has entered the radar again. The 30-year-old football player, who had problems with his coach in Leicester City and could only play in 15 games in the past season, played a big role in Senegal's African Cup championship and attracted attention again. Experienced football player is ready to come to Galatasaray for a salary of 1.5 million Euros. The football player, who does not match with Leicester City, has a situation to leave the English club for free. If the player, whose contract will expire in 2023, agrees with Galatasaray on every issue, the conditions will be forced so that the transfer fee is not paid. 1

Solid squad player and more than useful if Ndidi is injured. Which is probably why he'll get shifted whereas the real 'deadwood' will be hanging around like a bad smell next season. 2
Allenho11 Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 Mendy has got to stay. Solid player that has always stood in for Ndidi very well when he’s had the chance. 1
JimJams Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 I like him but we do need to shed squad numbers. And Rodgers doesn't really fancy him a a straight back up to Wilf.

So we have to offer him another contract extension and this time he will want at least three years. are you committing to that?
Dahnsouff Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 Mendy is good, but not the right type of player we need and by now I am sure he would rather play regularly than be a backup - so sell.
Saxondale Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 He started to impress me late last season. Something changed about the way he played; he became more willing to drive forward with the ball and make more probing passes. I suspect he was simply given different instructions by the coaches.
AKCJ Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 Last season proved that a backup to Ndidi that can play a bit is vital. If we're happy to let him go for free then we need to make sure we replace him properly. 2
Grebfromgrebland Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 He needs to go for his own sake, we've treated him pretty shabbily in his time here. 4

He was not first choice is all, and a planned move feel through Do agree for his own reasons he would be best served by a move though
coolhandfox Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 Decent squad player, but he going to have limited game time. For me, we can invest that time in some of our promising youngsters, Braybrooke, and Brunt. We need to reduce the wage bill as well. Also, he's coming to the stage of his career where he needs to be playing weekly. 1
Vindaloo FOX Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 Quilty player, deserves to play regularly. Good luck to him.

If he’s happy to play here then yes I would offer it to him. Look at Ndidi’s injury record, our other option is Hamza who let’s face it passes it sideways 5 yards and kicks people and that’s his game. Who can the club afford to replace him with?
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 I'd rather keep Soumare than him as controversial as that might be.

turlo Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 if it's a Turkish club they will demand a fee from us to take him 3
Aus Fox Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 Decent enough player, but for both parties it’s time to go. Without knowing his wages, they would be way to much for a player that simply won’t play if Wilf is fit. Especially with no Europe this season, let him go and free up those wages towards a regular starter.
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 28 June 2022 Popular Post Posted 28 June 2022 Ideal back up player but I think he deserves the opportunity to go and play regularly, he's proven that with how well he's done for Senegal too. I'd like to see us get a fee though, no way should they get him for nowt. 6
RowlattsFox Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 With Ndidi's recent injury problems we could do with keeping him around but at the same time we could do without him being tied down on a longer term contract. We have to make space somewhere and we can't keep hanging on to players. Got nothing against Mendy, but I don't think we'd miss him that much.
filbertway Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 I'd give any Turkish club till the 15th July to complete any business with us. If that deadline passes then tough luck. They're absolute nightmares to deal with.

Good luck with that! I am sure Mendy wouldn't command a huge fee, but the club isn't going to be "forced" on a free transfer. Mendy is 30 years old, and if he can get a three-year deal in Turkey, that would be good for the latter part of his career. And we probably need to be looking younger for a DCM, possibly even utilizing Brunt as a backup with Braybooke in reserve, if he doesn't go on loan. Mendy has had a tough time at the club, but has been professional throughout (and won the FA Cup!). I wish him the best if he leaves.
turlo Posted 28 June 2022 Posted 28 June 2022 Will mostly likely depend on whether Soumare stays and if Rodgers feels he can cover Wilf as either the holding midfielder or as a DM in the 3 man midfield.

He still managed 39, 36, and 31 games in all comps in the last 3 seasons. I think he can manage to play 38 PL games, playing 3 games a week is the biggest issue, with no European football, he will be fine. 3
