Nampalys Mendy could join Neom SC

Racing Club de Lens/X

With Nampalys Mendy set to leave RC Lens at the end of the season, newly promoted Saudi Pro League club Neom SC are showing serious interest in signing the Senegalese international.

Senegalese midfielder Mendy, 32, who joined Racing Club de Lens in September 2023, has struggled to establish himself and secure regular playing time. With his contract set to expire on June 30, Mendy is now considering his options for the next chapter of his career. Mendy has been limited to only eight appearances this season and thirty appearances over two seasons with Lens.

According to multiple sources, Neom SC, a club recently promoted to the Saudi Pro League, is interested in bringing the Senegalese international into their fold. A move would offer the experienced midfielder not only the opportunity to play more regularly, but also the financial rewards that come with the Gulf region's growing footballing ambitions.

Mendy has also attracted interest beyond Saudi Arabia. Major League Soccer clubs are reportedly monitoring the situation closely, potentially anticipating stiff competition for his signature.

With the summer transfer window approaching, all eyes will be on Mendy's next move. A step that could see the Senegalese international embark on a new challenge.
