By finalizing this surprise deal, FC Lorient got ahead of quite a lot of competition, despite the context. If Mendy was no longer in the sights of the big European clubs, he still enjoyed a certain rating in England since according to information from Foot Mercato, Burnley and Nottingham Forest had advanced their pawns to secure his services. In addition, Olympiakos Piraeus have also reportedly expressed interest in signing up the left-back defender.
