Another unexpected news hit the football world — Real Madrid has decided to part ways with French defender Ferland Mendy. This was reported by Defensa Central. According to the source, the club’s head coach Xabi Alonso does not see the player’s future with the team.
Mendy being listed for transfer came as a surprise to many fans. Since joining “Los Blancos” in 2019, he has played in many crucial matches and consistently delivered reliable performances in his position. However, his career at Santiago Bernabéu might now be coming to an end.
It seems that Alonso wants to revamp the team’s defensive line and inject fresh energy. He is reportedly eyeing young Benfica defender Álvaro Carreras as a replacement for Mendy.
Interestingly, negotiations regarding Carreras have been ongoing for several months, and a final agreement could be reached soon. If the transfer goes through, it may mark the beginning of a new era in Madrid’s backline.
Ferland Mendy’s statistics at Real also command respect. The 30-year-old defender played 31 matches across all competitions this season, providing two assists. He currently has a contract valid until June 2028, which adds weight to the ongoing transfer discussions.
Football experts consider PSG, Milan, and Aston Villa as potential destinations for Mendy. His experience and versatility naturally attract interest from European giants.
Now, all eyes are on Real Madrid’s next move. In the coming weeks, we will likely find out who will reinforce the defense and where Mendy will officially transfer. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
