Saudi Arabia does not forbid itself anything and dreams of granting itself the services of Ferland Mendy during this summer transfer window. But the competition will be tough because PSG and Arsenal are also interested in the French left defender.
Weighed down by injuries and seriously upset by the competition at his post (Alaba, Camavinga), Ferland Mendy had a disappointing season in the colors of Real Madrid. With only 18 games in La Liga, the majority of which as a substitute, the former defender of Olympique Lyonnais is in a bad phase. An ideal situation for… Saudi Arabia, which dreams of attracting big names over 30 but also players in their prime.

Ferland Mendy (28) ticks all the boxes. According to information from Cadena SER, the tricolor defender trained in Le Havre is a priority for Saudi Arabia for this summer transfer window. No club name has yet filtered, but the PIF dreams of getting their hands on a second Real Madrid player, after winning the jackpot with Karim Benzema. In this case, however, it is advisable to remain cautious and not to send Ferland Mendy too quickly to Saudi Arabia.
PSG and Arsenal also on Ferland Mendy
And for good reason, the Be Soccer site specifies that two European leaders are also very attentive to the situation of the defender of the French team. Runner-up to Manchester City in the Premier League this season, Arsenal is interested in the same way… as Paris Saint-Germain. The interest of the capital club for Ferland Mendy is an old sea serpent, although it is quite incomprehensible it must be said insofar as one of the rare satisfactions of the Parisian season is called Nuno Mendes. To secure the services of Ferland Mendy, it will be necessary to pay around 50 million euros according to the SER. A sum well below the amount of the release clause of the defender of Real Madrid, which amounts to 250 million euros.
