Mendy leaves Blues after three years
The Senegalese number one is set to move to Al Ahli on a deal until the summer of 2026 after agreeing personal terms with the Jeddah-based outfit.
New Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino has begun his summer window clearout, with N’Golo Kante already moving on to pastures new, signing for Al Ahli’s Saudi rivals Al Ittihad.
And the list of outgoings is unlikely to end there, with Kalidou Koulibaly, Kai Havertz, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mateo Kovacic, Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Romelu Lukaku, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek all expected to depart Stamford Bridge this summer.
