Paris Saint-Germain are expected to follow through with their plans for Nuno Mendes. The left-back has a buy option worth €40 million included in his contract, and the Ligue 1 club intend to activate it in the summer. 

The player is the youngest starter as part of the team under Mauricio Pochettino. The French club are paying €7 million to Sporting CP as part of the loan deal this season. And in the summer, they are planning to have him sign a five-year deal.
