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 had a brief participation at the 2018 World Cup Mendy, now 32, played a bit-part role in that Russia 2018 run under Didier Deschamps, coming on for 40 minutes in a 0-0 group-stage draw with Denmark while Lucas Hernandez started every other match at left-back.

(Getty Images) France‘s path to the title included wins over Argentina in the round of 16, Uruguay in the quarterfinals, and Belgium in the semifinals before the final against Croatia. 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.
New Newcastle signing Sean Steur says it is an "incredible feeling" to sign for a "giant club" after his £23m move from Ajax was confirmed. Midfielder Steur, 18, has become the third player aged 20 and under the Magpies have bought in so far this summer after Bazoumana Toure and Ewen Jaouen. "It was always my dream to play in the best league in the world, so this is really exciting," Steur told club media.
Former Newcastle United defender Steve Howey believes the addition of goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen could be a "very good signing" for Eddie Howe's side, adding he is glad the deal has been completed quickly. The Magpies have brought Jaouen to St James' Park for around £18.5m, even though the 20-year-old goalkeeper has never experienced top-flight football before. Everybody's got their views on [Aaron] Ramsdale and Nick Pope, but you listen to the stuff I've read about this goalkeeper, he's quite well thought of for a young goalkeeper.
Newcastle have secured the services of Ewen Jaouen, and goalkeeping analyst Matt Pyzdrowski at The Athletic has broken down what Magpies fans can expect from the young keeper. "He's Nick Pope, but he's good with his feet," he told BBC Radio Newcastle.
Newcastle United have confirmed the signing of 20-year-old goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen from Stade de Reims on a long-term contract. The France under-21 player made 34 Ligue 2 appearances last season, keeping 15 clean sheets. "I'm really excited to become a Newcastle United player," Jaouen told club media.
