Total spend: £8.88million
Total loss: £1.056million
His contract promised him a base pay of £100,000 per week and bonuses worth up to an additional $170,000. But after his 2020 arrest, he found himself fighting bankruptcy rather than collecting £31.2 million. And after being pursued for unpaid taxes, he was compelled to shut down his image rights company.
After being charged in 2021, the football player suffered a severe financial setback because City stopped paying him the following month. Even though he already had £5 million in his pocket, his extravagant lifestyle soon caught up with him and he is currently fighting bankruptcy. Mendy is a Muslim by religion. He is unmarried and single.
Additionally, he suffered significant losses on the sales of luxury goods such as a Lamborghini and a six-bedroom property in Prestbury, Cheshire called The Spinney. On August 15, 2021, Mendy made his final appearance for Man City in their 1-0 season-opening loss against Tottenham. But when his contract with the Premier League champions expired last month, they released him.
Benjamin Mendy was exonerated of r*pe
The former Manchester City player was cleared of both r*ping and attempting to r*pe two different women. The 28-year-old was accused of hitting a 24-year-old woman at his £4 million home in Mottram St. Andrew, Cheshire, in October 2020. A second lady, age 29, who claimed he had assaulted her at his house two years earlier, similarly accused Mr Mendy of attempting a r*pe. It comes after a trial in January in which he was acquitted of six r*pe-related counts.
The three-week trial at Chester Crown Court ended with the jury returning a not guilty judgement as the France international sobbed. Before making a decision, the jury of six men and six women pondered for more than three hours and fifteen minutes.
The football player, whose deal with Manchester City expired this month, was previously found not guilty of six counts of r*pe and one count of s*xual assault involving four young girls or teenagers. The jury was unable to reach a decision on two counts of attempted and actual r*pe, necessitating a retrial.
