Edouard Mendy has reportedly rejected a six-year contract offer from Chelsea.
The reason behind that is that he feels ‘disrespected’ by the financial terms and wants to earn a similar wage as Kepa Arrizabalaga.
That means Mendy is demanding a wage package of around £200,000-a-week, which is quite high for a goalkeeper.
Chelsea fans have had mixed reactions to this news, even though most of the fans are furious that Mendy rejected his offer. Here are some of the best reactions from the Tribuna.com users.
Nicklaus Stan: “Ungrateful fans, i read all your comments and none of you are in support of him. Mendy earn less than 80k at Chelsea, yes he’s been scrappy of late, but come on.. he deserves better. Had it not been Mendy we wouldn’t have won that champions league. Sterling, Pulisic and co are playing rubbish match after match but they keep earning huge monies. Shame on you all bunch oh hypocrites.”
Solo: “Mendy is way better than Kepa.”
Ggaba Akeem: “You people are talking about 6 years contract without knowing how much financially will he earn. He might lose form but he’s still our best goalie and he’s coming back stronger.”
Abayeh Jo Eros: “When his form was good and he was winning trophies, he didn't ask for a new contract with wages to be pal with Kepa, when he was down in form, he wants a contract with wages to be pal with Kepa....He should just go back to Rennes. I hate ppl who don't do the right thing at the time right time because of excitement.”
Brian Pearce: “If reports are to be believed Mandy earns £100k a week (Kepa £200k) this equals £5m & £10m respectively PER YEAR. If Mandy believes he’s worth the same as Kepa, why did he sign in the first place? Answer, because he was a nobody on two bob a week and an ‘order shit sandwich at Rennes. My opinion is if £30,000,000 over the next six years isn’t enough,then fuck off & play somewhere else. And if reports of Mason Mounts demands are true, take him with you.”
Michael Fox: “Mendy is foolish not to except the term's. However, Chelsea may be better off to sell.”
Flybuoyant: “He should be allowed to go, I don't even know why an extension for him.As he didn't know Kepa earned more him before he hungrily signed the dotted lines for Chelsea then. Don't even remind me of his fumbling at the recent World Cup.”
Tochukwu Favour: “Imagine six years contract and he still rejected it, what nonsense he should better find his way if he is not comfortable.”
