Club career
[edit]Born in Guédiawaye, Mendy began playing football with his local football academy Guédiawaye, before moving to France with his family in 2015, where he played for SPN Vernon, Pacy Ménilles and Mantois 78.[1][2]
He signed a two-year contract with French Ligue 2 side Paris in June 2021.[3] He made his professional debut with Paris FC in a 1–0 Ligue 2 victory against Pau on 26 December 2022.[4]
On 1 September 2023, Mendy moved on a loan to Betis Deportivo Balompié, the reserve team of Real Betis.[5] He made his first team debut on 6 January 2024, starting in a 1–0 away loss to Deportivo Alavés in the Copa del Rey.
On 6 June 2024, Betis announced that they exercised Mendy's buyout clause, with the player signing a three-year contract.[6] He made his La Liga debut on 18 May 2025, starting in a 4–1 loss at Atlético Madrid.
On 20 August 2025, Mendy was loaned to Rayo Vallecano also in the top tier, for one year.[7] On 12 June of the following year, he signed a permanent four-year contract with the club.[8]
