Club career

edit

Sporting CP

edit

Born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, to Portuguese parents,[2] Mendes reached Sporting CP's youth system in 2005, aged nearly 15. In his first two senior seasons he played with Real SC (third division) and Servette FC (Swiss Challenge League),[3] in both cases on loan, helping the latter club to promotion.

In the summer of 2011, still owned by Sporting, Mendes joined Real Madrid, being assigned to the B team.[4] He made his debut with the main squad on 7 December, coming on as a substitute for Álvaro Arbeloa midway through the second half of a 3–0 away win against AFC Ajax in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League;[5] during his spell at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, several of his Castilla teammates expressed their dissatisfaction over what they saw as a preferential treatment by first-team manager José Mourinho, the player's compatriot.[6]

Mendes played his first match in the Primeira Liga with Sporting on 27 January 2013, when he replaced the injured Khalid Boulahrouz at half-time of the 1–1 home draw with Vitória de Guimarães.[7]

Parma

edit

Returning to Sporting for the 2012–13 campaign, Mendes was made captain of the reserves who competed in the Segunda Liga, also appearing sporadically for the main squad.[8][9] On 28 May 2013, he signed a five-year contract with Parma F.C. in Serie A as a free agent.[10]

On 21 January 2014, Mendes moved to fellow top-tier club US Sassuolo Calcio in a co-ownership deal with Parma.[11] In June he was bought by the latter, who sold Raman Chibsah and Nicola Sansone to the former on the same day.[12]

Rennes

edit

Mendes joined Stade Rennais F.C. of France on 6 July 2015, after agreeing to a four-year contract.[13] He made his debut in Ligue 1 on 8 August, in a 2–1 away loss to SC Bastia.[14]

Montpellier

edit

On 18 July 2017, Mendes signed with Montpellier HSC of the same league.[15][16] He first appeared for them on 5 August, playing the entire 1–0 home victory over Stade Malherbe Caen,[17] and scored his first goal on 16 September by heading from the corner kick as the visitors defeated ES Troyes AC by the same score.[18]

Mendes became a key part of Michel Der Zakarian's resolute Montpellier side over the following seasons, partnering veterans Daniel Congré and Hilton in a three-man central defence.[19] In October 2018, he extended his contract for two more years up to 2023.[20]

Mendes featured rarely in his final two years at the Stade de la Mosson, due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury contracted in April 2021.[21] In an interview to Portuguese website Zerozero, he blasted the club's medical staff over his recovery process.[22]

Later career

edit

On 24 August 2023, Mendes returned to Portugal one decade after leaving, joining C.F. Estrela da Amadora who had just returned to the top flight following a lengthy absence;[23] the terms of the deal were not disclosed.[24] In June 2024, he left.[25]

International career

edit

Mendes won exactly 50 caps for Portugal at youth level, including 13 for the under-21 team for whom he scored in a 1–1 home draw against Poland for the 2013 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[26] His maiden full appearance occurred on 14 October 2018, when he replaced S.L. Benfica's Rúben Dias in the 56th minute of the 3–1 friendly win over Scotland at Hampden Park.[27]
