After a standout campaign with Reims, where he signed for an unknown sum, he joined Rennes in 2019.

Édouard Mendy agreed to a 22 million pound five-year contract in September 20202 with English club Chelsea. He additionally broke other records by maintaining a string of clean sheets. In the UEFA Champions League final in 2020–2021, Chelsea defeated Manchester City thanks in large part to him.
He had the option of representing Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, or France internationally. He also played for Guinea-Bissau in friendlies against Estoril and Belenenses of Portugal.
During the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, he represented Senegal. Additionally, Senegal came in second place even though he was injured and removed from the team before Senegal’s last group-stage match.
