About Pedro Mendes (footballer, born October 1990)
Pedro Filipe Teodósio Mendes (born 1 October 1990) is a professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Liga Portugal 2 club Feirense. Born in Switzerland, he represented Portugal internationally. == Club career == === Sporting CP === Born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland to Portuguese parents, Mendes reached Sporting CP's youth system in 2005, aged 14. In his first two senior seasons he played with Real SC (third division) and Servette FC (Swiss Challenge League), in both cases on loan, helping the latter club to promotion. In the summer of 2011, still owned by Sporting, Mendes joined Real Madrid, being assigned to the B team. He made his debut with the main squad on 7 December, coming on as a substitute for Álvaro Arbeloa midway through the second half of a 3–0 away win against AFC Ajax in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League; during his spell at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, 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. Mendes played his first match in the Primeira Liga with Sporting on 27 January 2013, when he replaced the injured Khalid Boulahrouz at half-time of the 1–1 home draw with Vitória de Guimarães. === Parma === Returning to Sporting for the 2012–13 campaign, Mendes was made captain of the reserves who competed in the Segunda Liga, also appearing sporadically for the main squad. On 28 May 2013, he signed a five-year contract with Parma F.C. in Serie A as a free agent. On 21 January 2014, Mendes moved to fellow top-tier club US Sassuolo Calcio in a co-ownership deal with Parma.
