Mendy's struggle began when his wages were withheld following serious charges, leading him to financially rely on teammates like Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva, and Riyad Mahrez.
He expressed deep emotional distress over his financial hardships, stating, 'I struggled to pay my child support, I felt awful,' illustrating the impact of the club's decision on his personal life.
Mendy's contract included various bonuses, but the substantial withholding of his monthly wage of 500,000 had catastrophic effects on his finances, forcing him to sell his mansion.
Describing the day of his charges as 'the day my life was turned upside down forever,' Mendy highlighted the severe consequences that footballers may face off the pitch.
