The 32-year-old striker is not expected to wear the blood and gold jersey in the future.
It seems that Joseph Mendes played his last minutes in blood and gold against Laval ten days ago. As revealed last Sunday, its low use by Didier Santini at the start of the season, despite preparing for four goals in as many matches, gave the Bissau-Guinean striker desires elsewhere. Desires which should, according to our information, quickly lead to a departure from Piton for another French club whose name has not yet leaked! If there are still details to be settled, the deal could be completed at the start of the last week of the transfer window.
The striker was not in the squad against VAFC
The absence of Joseph Mendes in the group for Valenciennes, Saturday, and training at the end of the week, therefore seems to be explained by the close outcome of his transfer. And not for the reason given by his future ex-coach, Didier Santini, at a press conference on Friday: “He didn’t feel good on Wednesday, so he didn’t train.” Later in the day, his non-selection for the weekend meeting had also been justified by a “coach’s choice” on the club’s social networks. He had been replaced numerically by the rookie in attack, Taïryk Arconte, who arrived at the start of the week on loan from Brest.
