Mendes to remain at Rangers

by Chris Stanton , 01 June 2009

Pedro Mendes has pledged his future to Rangers after press speculation linked the Portuguese midfielder with a move away from Ibrox.

Lazio as well as Sporting have been mentioned as suitors, although Mendes, who joined Rangers from Portsmouth for £3 million in August 2008, insists he is happy to stay at the club.

“My contract is valid for two years,” Mendes told Desporto.

“I feel happy in Glasgow and I see no reason not to continue at Rangers."

The Gers' fragile finances have led to speculation that a number of players may be sold to balance the books, but Mendes does not believe his team are considering his sale.

He added: “I do not know [of interest from other clubs]. One thing is certain, I will not ask to leave. Nor do I think that Rangers are thinking about a possible transfer."
