Fed-up Mendy REJECTS new Chelsea contract offer
Posted Thursday, December 22, 2022 by Tribalfootball.com
Edouard Mendy has rejected a new contract offer from Chelsea.
The Sun says Mendy snubbed a six-year contract offer — because Chelsea are not showing him enough 'respect' over wages.
The Senegalese keeper has been back training with his club since last week after reaching the World Cup last 16 — but there is still no sign of an agreement.
Mendy, 30, earns around £100,000 a week and wants parity with his Blues rival Kepa Arrizabalaga who picks up almost twice that.
Sources claim Chelsea bosses have even withdrawn their initial offer of a long-term deal as they play hardball with the negotiations — and now there is a stand-off.
And an insider said: “Edouard is back at Chelsea and he is ready to play.
“But there is a feeling that the contract situation is just going nowhere.
“Edouard has won some huge trophies for Chelsea — but there is a sense that he is not being shown enough respect by the club over a new deal."
The Blues star still has two and a half years left on his contract but Italian champions AC Milan are closely monitoring the situation — as are French sides Nice and Monaco.
