Karim Benzema, who is shining in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ittihad (8 goals in 9 games this season), does not intend to stop there. According to Eduardo Inda of OK Diario, the former Real Madrid captain is campaigning to convince Ferland Mendy, his former teammate, to join him next summer. At the end of his contract in June 2025 with Real Madrid, the left-back could be tempted by a new adventure, especially since discussions on an extension come up against high salary demands.
Mendy, pushed towards the exit in Madrid?
While Real Madrid are planning the arrival of Alphonso Davies to strengthen the left-back position, Ferland Mendy’s future seems uncertain at the Santiago Bernabeu. If Carlo Ancelotti appreciates the player, Madrid leaders would be less convinced. According to information revealed on the set of El Chiringuito, Mendy could give in to calls from Benzema, who takes on an almost directorial role at Al-Ittihad.
