JAKARTA - Edouard Mendy has reportedly rejected a new contract offer from Chelsea. The reason is so surprising.
Mendy refused a new contract because the salary offered did not meet his expectations.
Even worse, the nominal salary is lower than Kepa Arrizabalaga, which pays £200,000 per week. In fact, Mendy is more often the main goalkeeper than Kepa.
Reported by The Evening Standard, the 30-year-old goalkeeper was offered a profit of 190 thousand (equivalent to Rp. 3.2 billion) per week.
In fact, his salary offer is well below Reece James, who has just signed a new contract with Chelsea. The English defender was paid 250 thousand pounds (worth IDR 4.2 billion) per week.
Chelsea is currently busy securing the services of its pillar players. Apart from Mendy, Chelsea is also trying to offer Mason Mount a new contract.
In addition, N'Golo Kante and Jorginho are also in their last year of contract. The club's management also wants to offer them both new contracts.
However, only Mendy seems to be going difficult.
Mendy's performance itself is currently in the spotlight. The goalkeeper from Senegal recently received the spotlight due to several blunders he did at the Premier League England.
However, he got support from Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel. He said the club still has two quality clubs.
"The situation is calm. We have two fantastic goalkeepers, two fantastic people," said Tuchel.
