In 2017, Manchester City signed one of France’s biggest talents, Benjamin Mendy, from Monaco for €57.8 million. A few years later, the now 31-year-old left-back was subjected to an act of revenge from one of his women. Benjamin Mendy, who was one of football’s big names, has, like most rich football players, good access to sex and has, according to his own statements, slept with over 1000 women. – We in Sporten suggest he changes his name to Benjamin Blue.
From 2021 to 2023, Mendy was suspended by his then-club Manchester City, after the left-back was accused of two counts of rape. He was later acquitted of the charges and also won a legal battle against Manchester City over unpaid wages. – It is supposed to be about £11 million. Until then, his house was forced to be sold and he lived on the help of his former teammates.
For Mendy, there has been no sporting upturn to speak of after City. On Friday, he is left without a club.
23 months after their last game, Lorient signed the French player. This was not a success, Mendy was on the pitch for a total of 15 games during a season and a half. In February this year, Zurich took the gamble, and persuaded the former Premier League player to move to the Swiss league. On Friday, this employment relationship was also over after 8 poor matches.

The contract originally ran until 2026, but after a few months in the Swiss city, the contract is suspended.
According to Mundo Deportivo, it was Mendy’s behavior off the pitch that was the last straw for the Swiss club. Mendy’s decision to have a night of celebration, just hours after Zurich lost 4-0 to rivals Basel in April, is highlighted.
Zurich’s president Ancillo Canepa is anything but impressed with the Frenchman’s time at the club.
-It was absolutely not what we expected. Mentally and physically, he wasn’t at his best, played very poorly, conceded goals and got injured,” the club’s president, Ancillo Canepa, told the Daily Mail.
