Pedro Filipe Teodósio Mendes (born 1 October 1990) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for French club Montpellier HSC as a central defender.

Club career

Sporting

Born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland to Portuguese parents, Mendes reached Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth system in 2005, aged nearly 15. In his first two senior seasons he played with Real SC (third division) and Servette FC (Switzerland, second level), in both cases on loan, helping the latter club to promotion.

In the 2011 summer, still owned by Sporting, Mendes joined Real Madrid, being assigned to the B-team.[1] On 7 December 2011 he made his debut with the main squad, coming on as a substitute for Álvaro Arbeloa midway through the second half of a 3–0 away win against AFC Ajax in the season's UEFA Champions League;[2] during his spell with the Merengues, several of his Castilla teammates expressed their dissatisfaction over what they saw as a preferential treatment by first-team manager José Mourinho, the player's compatriot.[3]

Parma

Returning to Sporting for the 2012–13 campaign, Mendes was made captain of the B-side who competed in division two, also appearing sporadically for the main squad. On 28 May 2013, he signed a five-year contract with Parma F.C. in Serie A.[4]

On 21 January 2014, Mendes moved to fellow league club U.S. Sassuolo Calcio in a co-ownership deal with Parma.[5] In June he was bought by the latter, who sold Raman Chibsah and Nicola Sansone to the former on the same day.[6]

Rennes

Mendes joined Stade Rennais F.C. of France on 6 July 2015, after agreeing to a four-year contract.[7] He made his debut in Ligue 1 on 8 August, in a 1–2 away loss to SC Bastia.[8]

Montpellier

On 18 July 2017, Mendes signed with fellow league club Montpellier HSC.[9][10] He first appeared in the league for them on 5 August, playing the entire 1–0 home win over Stade Malherbe Caen,[11] and scored his first goal on 16 September by heading from the corner kick as the visitors defeated Troyes AC by the same score.[12]
