Nuno Mendes wants to write his name in PSG history

Nuno Mendes is looking forward to a great legacy after a highly successful loan spell that saw the player help the club regain the Ligue 1 title.

What did Nuno Mendes say?

The Portuguese footballer says he came to PSG to have his name written into the club’s history books after it was confirmed they had signed the defender permanently. Mendes is due to stay at Parc des Princes until 2026 following a successful loan spell when the club fired its €40m option to buy the left-back from Sporting CP. Nuno was an impressive performer as Paris Saint-Germain pushed to reclaim their Ligue 1 crown after losing it the previous season, and speaking after the player put pen to paper about a new deal, the young man stated, that his long-term stay would give him a chance to go down as a club.

The Portuguese national team player told the club’s official website that he came here to write his name in the history of PSG. According to Nuno Mendes, it started this year and he hopes to continue the good times for the club, with more league wins, more titles. This is what Mendes tries to do every time he represents the club. Since Nuno was small, he wanted to play for a big club, while PSG wanted to play alone. Reflecting on his personal campaign at the Parc des Princes, Nuno Mendes added that, from a personal standpoint, he thinks it was training season. Nuno came here to grow and learn. It was a very good season.

“The team has always responded well”

Despite his own personal impressions, the Portuguese was drawn into another Paris Saint-Germain campaign that saw them fall short of their European Champions League dreams despite many big arrivals including Messi, although Mbappe’s decision to outsmart Real Madrid late in the campaign gave push around. Reflecting on this, the teenager paid tribute to the team ethos on the show, stating that when they had a bad time, the team was able to respond in the right way. According to Nuno Mendes, they would go to practice and do their best, and that’s what they’ve been doing all season.

Despite the disappointments, the team has always responded well. This also allowed them to win the league. It was the first time that negative pressure had happened to Mendes, but he’s sure other players have already been there. The Portuguese thinks the older players have helped them get through hard times because they have gone through similar times in the past.
