While Karim Benzema is now approaching an extension, another Frenchman is announced to be leaving for Real Madrid. The club from the Spanish capital would have shown the exit to the left side Ferland Mendy, often injured and sometimes criticized for his insufficient performances.
Definitely, the French animate the transfer window news of Real Madrid. If Karim Benzema ultimately heads for a contract extension, and not a move to Saudi Arabia, Ferland Mendy could really take the exit. This would in any case be the wish of the White House before the opening of the transfer market. According to the English media TEAMtalk, the club led by Florentino Pérez would have indicated to the left side that he was no longer part of the plans. The former Olympique Lyonnais player apparently annoyed his leaders by chaining injuries.
Mendy’s price set
His repeated absences often forced coach Carlo Ancelotti to tinker with Eduardo Camavinga. And even when he is available, Ferland Mendy does not give complete satisfaction. His defensive solidity is unanimous, unlike his shyness in the opposing half. Undesirable at Real Madrid, the Merengue still keeps a good rating in England. The source reveals strong interest from Newcastle, as well as an estimated price tag of around €20m, a far cry from the €48m paid for his arrival in 2019. These rumors, however, should be taken with caution as Carlo Ancelotti gave a different trend last month.

“ If I count on Ferland Mendy next season? Yes of coursereplied the Italian. He was an important element because he showed, especially last season in important games, a high level defensive solidity. And also because we put in place a pivot like Camavinga who could help us in midfield and, in some games, give us more energy. Ferland has recovered well from his injury and I hope he can continue injury free as he is a very important player for us. The French international, recalled by coach Didier Deschamps, still has two years of contract at Real Madrid.
