Arriving free at SM Caen in October 2020, Alexandre Mendy is now awaiting departure. Coveted by many teams during the summer window, the top scorer of the last Ligue 2 season finally opted for the Sunderland project. Determined to join the Black Cats, the former Girondins de Bordeaux striker, however, sees his departure blocked, at a time when the Norman club has moved under the flag of the Mbappé family. Explanations.

Victor Osimhen, Joao Félix, Romelu Lukaku… This summer, the transfer window is still keeping football lovers in suspense with numerous soap operas. Among them, that of Alexandre Mendy, still under contract with SM Caen after showing his desire to join Sunderland. Pending departure for several weeks, the Guinea-Bissau striker (7 caps) - ardently coveted during this summer window (Lecce, Sampdoria, Salernitana recently tried their luck but the player is determined to join the Black Cats) - nevertheless had a clear commitment from its former management but sees, for the moment, its departure blocked

A reality which can be explained in particular by the new page opened by the Norman club, recently passed under the flag of the Mbappé family. Questioned by us, the advisor of the 30-year-old attacker, Yacine Ayad, also wanted to clarify things in this matter. “Currently, Alex is training separately, contrary to what the press wanted to show. He is impeccable in his work and in his investment,” he first told us before going behind the scenes of the summer experienced by his protégé.

“It was Olivier Pickeu (former president of SM Caen, editor's note), at the time of Alex's extension, who made a commitment to us (Alexandre Mendy and his advisor) to let Alex go, whatever the outcome. club sportswoman. I wanted to come back to this point. The word given was that of Olivier Pickeu, who let us understand that Pierre-Antoine Capton (minority shareholder of SM Caen, editor's note) was in the confessions but the truth is quite different. I therefore wanted to clear Pierre-Antoine of any responsibility because he never knew of any of this. He is a man of his word and, today, whether Alex leaves or stays, it was essential for me to reestablish the truth. He made himself available and attentive to Alex and his family. I thank him for that and I am grateful to him.”
And to conclude: “Alex is still determined to join Sunderland, there are around ten days left, we will not give up, our determination is intact. We remain positive and we are counting on the new management to unblock this situation.” As a reminder, the top scorer of the last Ligue 2 season is still training separately and hopes for a happy outcome before the end of the summer transfer window, at a time when Mbaye Niang is cited in Normandy. For its part, Sunderland has revised its offer upwards (amount between 2 and 3 million euros, bonus included) and is also awaiting a sign from the upper echelons of Caen…

It's like early last season when our defensive record was up there and people kept telling me our defence was good because of said record, until it wasn't....

I'll continue to watch with my eyes though and i can see we both lack aerial dominance in set pieces and we've had a few mad scrambles trying to clear balls so far over two league games. It will eventually cost us. The manager doesn't seem daft and Ballard, when available, will be in soon enough.

Didn't we end up with one of the best defensive records in the league despite playing absolutely dire football, and having relegation form for about 20 games?

Our defensive record, as a matter of actual fact, was up there. Our defence was, and still is, good - especially when they're all fit.
