The Senegal goalkeeper enjoyed a fine start to his Chelsea career after joining the club from Stade Rennais in 2020, winning the Champions League and the UEFA Men's Best Goalkeeper Award in 2021.
However, Mendy struggled for form last season and underwent surgery in January after fracturing his finger, eventually losing his status as the club's No. 1 goalkeeper to teammate Kepa Arrizabalaga.
