Ferland Mendy, is it over?

Having passed through the Paris Saint-Germain training center before starting his professional career at Le Havre then at Olympique Lyonnais, Ferland Mendy followed the same path as that taken ten years earlier by Karim Benzema, passing from OL at Real Madrid. Purchased for nearly fifty million euros in 2019 by the Spanish club, the left back quickly convinced his various coaches to trust him. Starting with Zinedine Zidane then replaced by Carlo Ancelotti. But after five seasons spent in Madrid, Ferland Mendy could leave in the summer of 2024.

It is The Athletic who gave the information that the leaders of Real would seriously consider opening the exit door this summer for their defender. Although under contract until 2025, Ferland Mendy has been regularly subject to injuries and at twenty-eight years old, his credit has slightly diminished within the Casa Blanca. Real recruiters are already thinking about what comes next and to succeed him, two names are on the shelves, firstly the Bayern Munich player, Alphonso Davies.

Two names to replace it

The other option to replace Mendy is Miguel Gutiérrez, a player who belongs to Real Madrid and who has taken on another dimension this season with Girona, the club to which he was loaned by Madrid. Concerning the French side, the idea of ​​Florentino Perez and the Merengue management, is also and above all to recover a few million by parting with him a year before the end of his contract. In the meantime, the player retains the confidence of Carlo Ancelotti who does not hesitate to field him as soon as he can.

It therefore remains to be seen whether Ferland Mendy will want to go without going, he who has already been targeted by Saudi clubs and who should inevitably interest some beautiful European cars. For its part, the American media is therefore leaning towards a departure, adding that Real Madrid does not necessarily include the Frenchman in its future team project. The case is to be continued.
