Nuno Mendes’ Bio, Age

Nuno Alexandre Tavares Mendes (born June 19, 2002) is a Portuguese professional footballer who currently plays as a left-back for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain on loan from Sporting CP and for the Portugal national team.
He made his first-team debut in 2020 after graduating from Sporting CP’s junior academy, and the following year he won the Primeira Liga and Taça da Liga double, as well as being named to the Primeira Liga Team of the Year. He signed a one-year loan deal with Paris Saint-Germain in August 2021.

Mendes is a former Portugal young international who has played at various levels for his country. He made his full debut in 2021 and was included in the Euro 2020 team.

Nuno Mendes’ Club Career

Mendes, who is of Angolan heritage and was born in Sintra, Lisbon, began playing football at the age of nine, and his childhood idols were Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, David Alaba, and Marcelo, the latter two of whom he sought to mimic. Bruno Botelho, a teacher at his high school, noticed him and invited him to play for Despertar, a minor club on the outskirts of Lisbon. He rapidly made an impression, attracting the attention of Benfica, Porto, and Sporting CP, where he joined the latter’s youth system at the age of ten.

Mendes realized he was being watched by a man as he returned home from school during his scouting process. He hurried home, which was in a very impoverished neighborhood, for fear of being robbed; the “stalker” was actually a Sporting scout, who subsequently encouraged him to sign. Before joining Sporting’s academy at the age of 14, he spent the next four years driving two hours round trip to train with his teacher every night.
Mendes began his career as an attacking midfielder before being moved to left-back, a position in which he struggled at first.

Mendes was one of a small group of youth players called up to the first team by manager Rben Amorim following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in February, which brought an early end to the youth football season. Despite having only played once since November due to an injury, Mendes was one of a small group of youth players called up to the first team by manager Rben Amorim. On June 12, 2020, he made his professional debut as a 72nd-minute substitute for Marcos Acua in a 1–0 Primeira Liga home win against Paços de Ferreira.

Mendes became the first choice after the latter left for Sevilla in the 2020 off-season, at the age of 18, becoming the club’s youngest starter since Cristiano Ronaldo in September 2002; he went on to start six of his side’s remaining league fixtures. On the 4th of October of the same year, he scored his first competitive goal for them in a 2–0 away victory over Portimonense. On December 19, 2020, Mendes agreed to a contract extension that increased his buyout clause from €45 million to €70 million. He appeared in 29 games for the eventual champions and was chosen to the All-Star Team. Mendes assisted Jovane Cabral in Braga’s 2–1 loss and conquest of the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira on July 31, 2021.

Mendes joined Paris Saint-Germain on a season-long loan with a purchase option on August 31, 2021. On September 11, he made his Ligue 1 debut for the club, coming on as an 85th-minute replacement in a 4–0 loss to Clermont. Four days later, he made his UEFA Champions League debut, replacing Abdou Diallo 75 minutes into a 1–1 draw away to Club Brugge in the group stage; he made an immediate impression on the pitch, most notably producing a “great” run to open up a shooting opportunity for Lionel Messi in the 77th minute. Later that month, he got his first start in a 2–1 triumph over Lyon.

Nuno Mendes’ International Career

Mendes got his first cap for Portugal at under-21 level in a 4–0 win in Cyprus for the 2021 UEFA European Championship qualifiers on September 4, 2020, just a few months after making his club debut. He previously played for the country’s under-16, under-17, under-18, and under-19 teams.

Six months later, Mendes was called up to the senior team by Fernando Santos for 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Azerbaijan, Luxembourg, and Serbia, and was then dropped from the under-21 group that was set to compete in the finals. On March 24, 2021, he made his debut with the former, playing the entire 1–0 victory over Azerbaijan.

Mendes was named to the UEFA Euro 2020 squad despite missing out on the tournament due to a round-of-16 loss. Santos later claimed that he had intended to pair him with Raphael Guerreiro during the competition but was unable to do so due to injuries.
