A few months ago, Mendy filed a lawsuit against his former club for withholding his salary after being charged with rape and sexual assault.
The court then ruled in favour of the France international, ordering the club to reimburse him for his unpaid salary.
The defender, who was exonerated of charges of rape and sexual assault, will receive £9 million in wages that were withheld.

They think it impacted his future earning potential and appealed to sponsors like Nike, who dropped him following his incarceration.
However, according to a source, via the Sun, the club was ready to take legal action should Greenwood attempt to file a lawsuit.
They said, “This is something that has been on the cards ever since criminal charges against Mason were dropped. The club has noted the Mendy case and the potential implications it has for them.
“But the two cases are fundamentally different. Mendy was suspended without pay by City, whilst Mason was suspended on full pay.

“If he were to launch legal action it would be for a loss of potential earnings. He was one of the hottest prospects in Europe. His suspension destroyed it all in an instant.
“He could also claim for damage to his mental health. The Mendy case has emboldened those around Greenwood. They feel he was unfairly treated.
“But the club sought legal advice at every single stage and is prepared should he go through with it.”
Meanwhile, Greenwood now plays for Marseille after making a move in the summer and is expecting a second child with partner Harriet Robson.
