Benjamin Mendy, one of Manchester City's star players, will be linked to Catalonia forever. Not because he is negotiating some kind of contract with one of the local teams, but because of the decision he made during one of his vacations three years ago and meeting Yolanda Aguera, from Badalona, with whom he had an affair.
A fleeting romance, but with consequences, because his daughter was born as a result of it, whose existence has now been discovered, since Aguera has filed a lawsuit against the player, since he claims that he increases the alimony that happens per month for his daughter, who is currently at 350 pounds (about 395 euros a month, in exchange).
Aguera, who is currently 41 years old, met Mendy, 28, in a modern hotel in Barcelona. The player invited her to a party with other friends in an apartment in the city, and there they had a sexual encounter that was definitive. Aguera became pregnant, and gave birth to her daughter months later, of whom Mendy did not discuss her paternity at any time.
The player took responsibility for the girl from the outset, but with a pension whose amount Aguera seeks to increase given the footballer's salary, who receives 90,000 pounds a week at Manchester City (more than 101,000 euros). However, his contract ends next June, so it will be necessary to see what his situation is and the possible readjustment of said amount, since he will be officially "without work" from that date, if he does not renew with his equipment.
For the moment, it seems that this will be the future of the French international, since he has been suspended without pay since September 2021, at which time he was accused of no less than ten very serious charges: eight of rape, one of sexual assault and one. attempted rape by seven different women, including a 17-year-old. The last crime, in addition, was perpetrated while the player was on probation after his arrest in November 2020 after being accused again of raping a woman.
Last January, Mendy was found not guilty of six of the rape cases and one of sexual assault, according to the Chester (United Kingdom) court. However, the jury did not reach a verdict on one count of rape and the other of attempted rape, which will mean that those cases will be tried again in a new process.
According to Mendy's words at the trial, the accusations will haunt him "for life", his life in football "is over" and this situation has been "absolute hell". The allegations suggested that Mendy was a "predator" who met the girls in Manchester nightclubs before inviting them to private parties at his Cheshire mansion, where the assaults allegedly took place.
