"A rapid development"
AC Monza was involved in the negotiations for a long time, but the choice finally fell on Braga, who pay around 25 million for the winger.
- Joe has had a rapid development this year and also got to make his national team debut.
The interest has been great around Joe and we are happy for his sake that we were able to find a solution that all parties are satisfied with, says Manuel Lindberg, CEO/club director and acting sports director.
Mendes made his debut in 2022 for AIK's A team and there were a total of 35 competitive matches, two goals and three goal-scoring passes for him in his debut season.
