Graham Potter reacts to rumours over Edouard Mendy deal

Evening Standard

 rejected the latest contract extension offer from 

"That’s with the club and with the player, I can’t comment," Potter replied, as quoted by the Evening Standard.

"Mendy, he’s a great guy and he’s been absolutely top with me and with Chelsea."

The Senegalese keeper's form has been under scrutiny this season, and he even lost his starting place to 

'He deserves better', 'Foolish not to accept the terms': Chelsea fans react to Mendy rejecting six-year contract offer

The reason behind that is that he feels ‘disrespected’ by the financial terms and wants to earn a similar wage as 

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.

: “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.”

: “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.”

: “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.”

: “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.”

: “Mendy is foolish not to except the term's. However, Chelsea may be better off to sell.”

 “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.”

: “Imagine six years contract and he still rejected it, what nonsense he should better find his way if he is not comfortable.”

Mendy reportedly rejects six-year contract extension offers, deems it 'disrespectful'

 has rejected a six-year contract offer from 

The Senegalese goalkeeper feels that the club aren’t giving him the respect he deserves by refusing to give him a similar salary as 

A Chelsea ‘insider’ told The Sun: “Edouard is back at Chelsea and he is ready to play. But there is a feeling that the contract situation is just going nowhere.

“Edouard has won some huge trophies for Chelsea — but there is a sense that he is not being shown enough respect by the club over a new deal.”

Mendy’s current deal expires in 2025, so the Blues have plenty of itme to negotiate a new deal with him. 

 wanting to sign him, they could even decide to sell him for a high amount in the summer – with Kepa having consolidated his place as the no.1 under

You never know with football. We all throught that Kapa would not be number one again when he lost his place. If another manager was to come in, things could change quickly.

exactly you never know what will happen merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

I hope he stays him and kepa are both good but if there thinking of getting another keeper in Jan there both go down the pecking order if mendy wants to leave then he should for him cos between the  two potters no 1 is kepa and I don't think he will be no 1 again he's got to do what's best for him

not only long strikes but set pieces too.

Remmy Hughes

we need new keepers . Mendy's form has gone down, kepa can't stop long range strikes... the Moroccan keeper?

Steve Mwangi
