It seems that Real Madrid is on its way to offering French left-back Ferlan Mendy (28 years old) for sale in the “summer Mercato”, hoping to obtain the services of Canadian left-back Alphonso Davies, the Bayern Munich player, who is insisting on obtaining 50 million euros to dispense with his player.
L'Equipe newspaper reported that the Blancos are continuing negotiations secretly with the Bavarian management, and are seeking to include Mendy in the Davies deal, to reduce the amount they pay to Bayern.
She said that options are still open for the German and Spanish parties.
The newspaper indicated that Real Madrid is ready to let Mendy leave before the 2024-2025 season, that is, at the end of this season, so that he does not enter the final year of his contract and leave for free.
The newspaper revealed that Mendy is in high demand in the English Premier League, especially by Arsenal, the club that is most pressing to reach an agreement with Real Madrid regarding him, as the Spanish coach, Mikel Arteta, the coach of the Gunners, is looking for the problem of the left-back position. He has, at a time when Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United are closely following the situation in order to know the final status of the player with his Spanish club.
Ferland Mendy, born on June 8, 1995, began his professional career in Havre in 2013, moved to Lyon in 2017 until 2019, then moved to Spain on June 12 of the same year 2019, under a contract that lasts until “summer 2025.”
Mendy did not present good credentials in his first years with Real Madrid, because he was injured more than once, but this year he presented a good season that was admired by Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, who always preferred him over the young left-back Fran Garcia, even though Florentino Perez was the president. The club is showing its determination to sell this French full-back in any way, until it gets what it wants by contracting with Canadian Alphonse Davies.
Mendy did not play for any of the French youth teams, and Didier Deschamps included him in 2018, and he played 7 matches with the first team, and then he was not called up at all after that.
