Werder Bremen make €10m bid for Trabzonspor midfielder Batista Mendy
Werder Bremen have made a €10m bid for Trabzonspor midfielder Batista Mendy, according to reports. The 26-year-old defensive midfielder has been linked with several European clubs, including Villarreal, Getafe, Genoa, and Torino.
Batista Mendy, who stands 1.91m tall, made his breakthrough at Angers and has since played over 100 games at Trabzonspor and Sevilla. However, his contract with Trabzonspor is set to expire next year, and the Turkish side are open to a permanent transfer.
The €10m bid from Werder Bremen is a significant amount, considering Mendy's market value is reportedly €7 million. However, the Green and Whites are reportedly willing to pay the asking price to secure the midfielder's services.
Batista Mendy has also represented France at the U19 youth national team level. His experience and skill set make him an attractive target for several European clubs.
Werder Bremen's search for a defensive midfielder continues, and Mendy's arrival could strengthen their midfield. The club's German fans will be eager to see if they can secure the signing of the highly-rated midfielder.
On Tuesday, Trabzonspor were reportedly plotting a sensational move to sign global superstar Mohamed Salah. The news will add to the speculation surrounding Mendy's future, but for now, the focus remains on Werder Bremen's bid.
Werder Bremen's bid for Batista Mendy is the latest development in a summer transfer window that has seen several high-profile moves. The club's fans will be hoping that this bid will finally bring an end to their search for a defensive midfielder.
