Bissenty Mendy, captain of FC Annecy last season, trains and has played warm-up matches with Red Star. But he has not yet officially signed and on social networks, the Ile-de-France club replaces his name with another to avoid controversy.
Bissenty Mendy began his story with the Red Star in secret or almost. Captain of Annecy last season in Ligue 2, the French central defender trains and played several preparation matches with the Audonian club, before the resumption of the National. But as revealed by The Parisianon the social networks of the Red Star, no mention of his name is made.
Instead, on the compositions of teams published before the friendly meetings of the last days, it is the name of Sanogo which appears. If there is indeed an Aziz Sanogo in the Red Star squad, it is Bissenty Mendy who played against Le Mans, for example, last Friday. His name is listed on the game sheets, for insurance reasons, but is not publicly disclosed.
Automatically extended to Annecy if maintained in L2
In question, an imbroglio caused by the situation of Sochaux. Mendy’s contract with Annecy ran until this summer, with an automatic extension if the club remained in Ligue 2. Following the sporting relegation of the Haut-Savoyard club, the Frenchman wanted to return to the Paris region, from where he is a native, and therefore engage with the Red Star. But Annecy was drafted into L2 on Thursday evening in place of Sochaux, and even played its first league match on Saturday evening (4-1 defeat against Guingamp).
Absent when training resumed in Annecy, Bissenty Mendy would not have signed anything with Red Star yet and would therefore wait to see his situation regularized. The file must be examined Tuesday by the conciliation commission of the LFP, according to Le Parisien. The authorities must determine whether the administrative maintenance, just a few days before the resumption of Ligue 2, validates the player’s contract.
Annecy has already faced a similar scenario with Alexandre Philiponeau, who signed up with Concarneau following relegation. The two clubs have reached an agreement in recent days and this could be the outcome with Red Star as well. According to Dauphine Libere, the Annecy people want to claim transfer compensation for Mendy. The National Championship begins on Friday.
