In a move that reflects the desire of Al-Shorta Club to strengthen its midfield with one of the most prominent names in the Iraqi league, informed sources revealed significant interest from the Green Lantern in acquiring the player from Al-Najaf Club, Senegalese star Dominik Mendy, during the ongoing summer transfer period.

Mendy, who caught the spotlight last season due to his outstanding performances and great stability in the midfield, was awarded the Best Professional Player in the Iraqi Premier League, an accolade that crowned an exceptional season during which he delivered performances that made him one of the most influential players in his team, Al-Najaf. His high physical abilities, vision in passing, and intelligence in defensive and offensive transitions made him a target for many clubs, but Al-Shorta seems closest to opening serious negotiations.

According to leaks from within the club's corridors, the management of Al-Shorta, led by coach Moamen Soliman, has prioritized Mendy in their contracting file, especially with the upcoming major entitlements, the most notable of which are the Iraq Cup, the Arab Championship, and the AFC Champions League for elite teams, making the signing of a player of this caliber a real necessity to bolster the midfield.

While no official negotiations between the two parties have been announced yet, indications confirm that initial contacts have taken place, and Mendy is open to embarking on a new experience provided the right environment and a convincing sports project are available.

Al-Shorta's interest in this shining name reflects the club's great ambitions for the upcoming season, which could ignite competition in the transfer market, especially given the presence of other clubs monitoring the player's position. Between the desire of the leader to win more titles and Mendy's ambition to take on a new challenge, the coming days will reveal the outlines of the anticipated deal.
