Benjamin Mendy Wants £10M Unpaid Salaries From Manchester City To Avoid Bankruptcy

Former Manchester City defender, Benjamin Mendy is set to sell his £5million Cheshire mansion.

He is also chasing up to £10million of club backpay to avoid bankruptcy after being cleared of r@pe, and fans have been reacting.

According to his accountant, Manchester City have not paid Mendy since September 2021, so his agents are currently in negotiations with the club to get the back pay [of £9-10million] on the basis that he has been found not guilty.

He added that Benjamin’s house near Macclesfield, Cheshire, is also being marketed by estate agent, Savills for £5million.

WOW.
