Most expensive defender in the world

With a fee transfer reaching £ 52 million or about € 57.5 million, Mendy becomes the most expensive defender in the world. Together with Pep Guardiola's troops, Mendy signed his signature on a five-year contract or until June 2022.
Following the departure of Gael Clichy and Aleksandar Kolarov, Guardiola, who had previously earned right-back Kyle Walker from Tottenham Hotspur and Danilo from Real Madrid, called on the club's management to spend a much wider transfer to bring the 22-year-old Mendy.
