FC Zurich have parted ways with France international of Senegal descent Benjamin Mendy ahead of the start of the new campaign.
The 31-year-old left-back leaves the Swiss outfit after mutually terminating contract with the club after just six months at the club.
Mendy joined FC Zürich last February following his departure from Ligue 2 club Lorient after similar contract termination.
The experienced defender signed a two-year contract with Les Merlus two years ago, after being cleared of rape and sexual assault charges.
He only made eight games appearances, starting only three of the matches. Having departed the club, he is expected to find himself a new club before the commencement of the 2025/26 football campaign.
Mendy has struggled to regain his form following the rape and sexual assault charges that marred his career. The incident led to contract termination at Manchester City and has since not being the same after being cleared.
