According to a report from Goal.com, while AC Milan have been competing to sign Cagliari's highly-regarded young player Paul Mendy, Inter have now surpassed them in this effort.

Paul Mendy, a Cagliari attacker born in 2007, has attracted the attention of Milan. La Repubblica reports that Milan is interested in closely following his development. Milan's scouts have also reportedly provided positive evaluations, and the club has included Paul Mendy on its list of young talents to monitor. However, the Cagliari club has reportedly clarified to interested clubs that Paul Mendy should not leave in the January transfer window, in order to avoid weakening the squad during the season.

Paul Mendy, a 19-year-old Senegalese centre-forward from Cagliari, is attracting the interest of several big clubs in Serie A. Milan is one of the interested clubs and its scouting department is following the player. He joined Cagliari in March 2026 and his contract runs until 2031. His current Transfermarkt market value is €12.00m.
