Benjamin Mendy has sold the replica 2018 World Cup trophy FIFA awarded him at auction. In 2018, Benjamin Mendy lifted the World Cup at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium as part of the France squad that beat Croatia 4-2 in the final. Seven years later, that gold-plated memory has a price tag: the left-back has sold the official replica trophy FIFA gave him as a champion for roughly $62,200 at auction. The sale went through American collectibles house Goldin as part of its “Global Football Auction Part 2,” a sale that also featured memorabilia tied to names like Lamine Yamal, Pelé, and Lionel Messi, and closed on July 25. The piece up for grabs wasn’t the actual World Cup trophy, which stays in FIFA’s possession, but the identical replica FIFA and the French federation hand every world champion as a personal keepsake, standing roughly 38 centimeters tall. It was listed with a crack at its base and visible wear, and the winning bidder received a certificate signed by Mendy to authenticate it.

Mendy’s career: a fall from the top Mendy’s path to that World Cup medal ran through Le Havre, where he broke into the first team in 2011 after coming up through the reserves, before a move to Olympique de Marseille in 2013 for three seasons. He then joined Monaco, where he won the 2016-17 Ligue 1 title as part of the young squad that also produced Kylian Mbappé, and that breakout campaign earned him a move to Manchester City in 2017 for a then-world-record fee for a defender. His six years at City were repeatedly derailed by injuries and, later, a major legal setback that kept him out of football entirely for two years before he was cleared in 2023. City released him following that ordeal, and his career never recovered its old level: a brief, appearance-less spell at Lorient came next, followed by a short stint at Swiss side FC Zürich, before he signed with Poland’s Pogoń Szczecin in September 2025, where he currently plays.
As Real Madrid and RB Leipzig reported reach an agreement, Yan Diomande is now expected to join the attacking trio of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. Yan Diomande emerged as one of the breakout stars of the 2025-26 European season with RB Leipzig, parlaying that momentum into a spotlight-stealing campaign at the 2026 World Cup. His dazzling ascension caught the eye of Real Madrid, who have reportedly reached an agreement with the German side to add the young winger alongside Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe in a blockbuster frontline. According to reports from journalists Ben Jacobs and Alex Crook, Real Madrid and RB Leipzig have struck a verbal agreement for Diomande’s transfer. Only minor details remain before the deal becomes official, with the expectation that the winger will arrive at the Santiago Bernabéu before the current summer window closes. Diomande had initially reached a verbal agreement with Paris Saint-Germain in mid-June ahead of the World Cup, but negotiations between PSG and Leipzig stalled. As the tournament concluded, Real Madrid emerged as aggressive suitors, swiftly seizing control of the race by agreeing to personal terms before hammering out a transfer fee with the Bundesliga outfit. Leipzig previously rejected a €90 million proposal with €10 million in add-ons from the Spanish giants. However, Sky Sports reporter Sacha Tavolieri indicates the revised package is now worth roughly €120 million inclusive of bonuses, with Diomande set to sign a five-year contract in Madrid.

Now, the Ivorian international is set to rank among the most expensive signings in Real Madrid history, potentially crashing the top three alongside Jude Bellingham and Eden Hazard. Diomande: The newest weapon in Real Madrid’s attack Diomande is expected to become Real Madrid’s fifth addition of the summer transfer window, following high-profile deals for Ibrahima Konate, Denzel Dumfries, Bernardo Silva, and Marc Cucurella. Unlike his fellow newcomers, the winger represents the first true attacking piece of the haul, poised to form a lethal front three alongside Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. Throughout last season, Madrid rotated Franco Mastantuono, Federico Valverde, Arda Guler, and Brahim Diaz along the right flank. However, those options functioned primarily as midfield facilitators, leaving Mbappe and Vinicius to carry the burden of the main line of attack. In his debut season in the Bundesliga, the 19-year-old registered 15 goals and 11 assists across 46 appearances. He also led the German top flight with 3.6 completed dribbles per game, a mark that ranked second among all top-five European leagues, trailing only Lamine Yamal’s 4.8 per game in La Liga. Real Madrid now plan to deploy a tactical setup similar to the ones Vinicius and Mbappe thrive in with their national teams. With Vinicius stretching defenses on the left and Mbappe occupying the central striker role, Diomande gives Los Blancos a dynamic, explosive threat on the right wing.
