Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy has revealed he turned down the opportunity to join Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, when he left Le Havre for Lyon.
Mendy spent eight years in PSG's academy (2004 to 2012) before he moved to Le Havre, where he made his professional debut.
The 24-year-old told Canal Plus (h/t Football Espana) PSG were interested in re-signing him after his initial breakthrough at the Stade Oceane:
“There was a chance to join PSG then, but the truth is, I was not really interested.
“I had already agreed to join Lyon at that stage, and I had already left PSG earlier in my career, after they had given me the opportunity in their youth teams after I thought I may need an amputation.
