Benjamin Mendy, a Manchester City left-back, has been suspended by the club and kept in custody since August after being charged with seven counts of rape.

In response to concerns about the French full-back’s safety, UK jail authorities have approved his transfer to a high-security prison.

According to The Sun, Mendy was transferred to one of the hardest prisons in the UK on December 23, meaning he spent Christmas at the HMP Strangeways in Manchester.

Mendy was allegedly taken aback when he first saw his new cell since he had assumed he would be transported to the “VIP area” of the prison rather than the VP wing, which houses prisoners who are shielded from potential attacks.

The Frenchman has been in detention since August 27 and has made three bail petitions, none of which have been granted.

Mendy is currently charged with eight charges of rape against five separate women, including seven counts of rape against four of them.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
