He will be donning the iconic number 10 jersey this season, and huge expectations will be on his shoulders. He has already registered two goals and three assists in the 2025-26 season so far.
• Nuno Mendes showed great promise when he joined PSG. He has emerged as one of the best players in his position under Luis Enrique. He is a physical specimen who excels in offensive and defensive aspects of the game. Despite playing as a left back, he is a match-winner and can make a difference at any time.
