According to Ecuadorian publication, Orbita Deportivo, Mendez’s contract with Independiente del Valle expires in December 2026.

The 29-year-old is expected to arrive in January where will be expected to undergo medicals before putting pen to paper.

Mendez is expected to sign a three-and-a-half year deal with the Brazilians as soon as he passes his medicals.
