A year and a half after leaving for the Blues, Edouard Mendy returned in an interview with Canal + on his departure from Rennes.
He is not a goalkeeper who will have stayed in Rennes for a long time, but certainly one of those whose passage will have been remarkable. Passed by Le Havre, Cherbourg, OM as well as the unemployment box, Edouard Mendy landed in 2019 at Stade Rennes from Reims. In one season, the goalkeeper revealed himself a little more in Ligue 1, as well as in Europe in the Europa League, to the point of arousing the interest of Chelsea.
“I have often discussed with Christophe Lollichon who told me about the club’s interest. »Explains Mendy to the Late Football Club of Canal +. “I tried not to think about it because it’s Chelsea anyway, and I was coming back a long way. I said to myself “don’t think too much about that”. But when the phone calls got louder, I told myself that there was really an interest on Chelsea’s part and that I had to go for it. It was the city where I wanted to live, the club where I wanted to play, the colors I wanted to defend. I could not refuse that and that Rennes understood it well. “
A year later, Mendy won the Champions League after crossing Rennes in the group stage.
