Senegalese international Nampalys Mendy is expected to leave RC Lens at the end of the current season, with reports indicating interest from Saudi Arabian club Neom SC.
The 32-year-old midfielder, who joined Lens in the summer of 2023, has had limited playing time this season and is unlikely to have his contract renewed.
Mendy has made only seven appearances in Ligue 1 this season, leading to speculation about his future. Despite his reduced role at Lens, Mendy remains a sought-after player, with Neom SC reportedly offering him a two-year contract.
The Saudi club is said to be interested in a more central role for Mendy, contrasting with his current position in France.
Previously, Mendy declined an offer from a Saudi club, deeming it insufficient. However, the reported interest from Neom SC suggests that Mendy is open to opportunities outside Europe.
His experience in top European leagues and his role in Senegal’s national team make him an attractive prospect for clubs looking to bolster their midfield.
As the season progresses, Mendy’s situation at RC Lens remains uncertain. With his contract expiring in June 2025, the coming months will be pivotal in determining his next career move.
Whether he stays in Europe or moves to the Gulf region, Mendy’s experience and versatility will be valuable assets for any club.
