From World Cup triumph to €50,000 replica sale: Benjamin Mendy

Gewezen Frans international Benjamin Mendy, now 32, has put his personal replica of the World Cup trophy up for sale at €50,000, a stark contrast to the triumph he celebrated in 2018 when he lifted the trophy with Frankrijk in the global tournament.

Mendy was a member of the France squad that secured the 2018 World Cup title. The victory marked the pinnacle of his international career, earning him a place among the elite French defenders.

Since the 2021 rape accusations, his professional trajectory has stalled. The legal cloud has kept him out of top‑level football, leaving his career in a state of decline.
