Mendy has maintained 31 clean slates out of his 75 appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea.
Al Ahli, a leading team in the Saudi Pro-League, is on the verge of finalizing a deal with Chelsea’s goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy.
While negotiations are still underway, Mendy is projected to join the growing list of top-tier players relocating to Saudi Arabia.
At the age of 31, the Senegal-born Mendy joined Chelsea in 2020 from Rennes, challenging the position of Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Mendy quickly established himself as the first choice, securing the 2020-21 Champions League title, and earning the accolades of UEFA’s Goalkeeper of the Season and 2021’s Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper.
If the transfer to Al Ahli is finalized, Mendy will be part of a trend of high-profile players who have been drawn to compete in a Saudi Arabian club.
His Chelsea colleague, N’Golo Kante, recently committed to a deal with league champions Al-Ittihad and will share the field with Ballon d’Or recipient Karim Benzema.
Meanwhile, other Chelsea stars such as centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly and winger Hakim Ziyech are reportedly being pursued by teams in the same league.

omg, this transfer trend is crazy! first kante, now mendy? chelsea is losing some top players. hope they have a plan to replace them. gonna miss mendy’s clean sheets though!
chelsea fans must be feeling mixed emotions. on one hand, they won the champions league with mendy in goal. on the other hand, they’re losing him now. it’s a bittersweet moment for sure.
congrats to mendy on the move! al ahli is lucky to have him. he’s been an amazing goalkeeper for chelsea, and i’m sure he’ll continue to shine in saudi arabia. good luck, mendy!
can’t believe koulibaly and ziyech might also leave chelsea. the saudi pro-league is really making some big moves in the transfer market. can’t wait to see how it all plays out!
wow, so mendy is gonna leave chelsea? thats a big loss for the team. he was so good in the champions league and now he’s going to play in saudi arabia. smh.
