One of the biggest selling points for Nuno Mendes is that his agent won't ask you to break the bank on wages. Don't be fooled by that however; those crafty reps know their values, and your club might end up paying a bit more on the back end for performance-related bonuses.
That's fine if you're getting a good player, and Mendes certainly is. He's an ideal option for anyone seeking a left-sided defender. Nuno can play at CB and on the left as a wing back. Plus, he's another who has youth on his side and a lot of stamina.

Expect to pay around £9-10m for him, depending on how long his contract at Sporting has left to run.
