Goal revealed on Saturday that the Monaco left-back is closing in on a move to England.

City are leading the chase, with Pep Guardiola looking to put a big-money deal in place after releasing several members of his ageing backline.

Mendy is set to cost the Premier League heavyweights around £39 million, but the 22-year-old has moved to point out that he is not - as reports in France have suggested - currently locked in talks by filming himself on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.

He made 39 appearances across all competitions, helping to secure the Ligue 1 title and a run through to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
