Benjamin Mendy is making headlines again after selling the official replica of his 2018 world champion trophy at auction. The former French international, crowned with the Blues in Russia, recently sold this collector’s item for an amount of around 54,000 euros. A decision which sparked numerous reactions among French supporters, many believing that such a souvenir has a symbolic value much greater than its sale price.
Faced with criticism, the left-back was quick to react on his social networks: “But is it my cut or is it your cut?” By the way, she’s mine. It’s my cut, I do what I want with it. » Before adding ironically: “and what’s more, it took up too much space in the closet”. Benjamin Mendy even hinted that other trophies from his collection could also be put up for sale in the near future.
