Benjamin Mendy has released a statement after Manchester City were ordered to pay the defender the majority of the £11million he claimed against them for unpaid wages at an employment tribunal.

The 30-year-old made the claim against his former employers after they suspended him without pay from September 2021 until his departure from the club in June 2023.

At the start of last year, Mendy was cleared of six counts of rape and one count of sexual assault during parties at his Cheshire mansion. He was then cleared in July 2023 of raping a woman and attempting to rape another.

“Today the employment tribunal upheld the main part of my claim against Manchester City Football Club for unpaid wages, finding that the club had unlawfully made deductions from my wages for a total period of 16 months and 23 days,” Mendy wrote on Wednesday.

“Having had to wait for 3 years for my wages, I am delighted with the decision and sincerely hope that the club will now do the honourable thing and pay the outstanding amounts, as well as the other amounts promised to me under the contract, without further delay, so I can finally put this difficult part of my life behind me.
