In just nine months after offering Ferland Mendy a contract extension, Real Madrid are reportedly looking to sell the fullback this summer.
One of Real Madrid’s biggest problems in their lackluster 2024–25 campaign was their lack of defensive depth. Long-term injuries to Éder Militão, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba and Mendy left Los Blancos with a makeshift backline featuring natural midfielders Fede Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni.
To better balance their squad, Real Madrid signed three defensive reinforcements in Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Álvaro Carreras. The latter, an emerging talent with ties to La Fábrica, is slated to become the team’s starting or back-up left back after the Spanish giants paid €50 million ($58.42 million) for the former Benfica man.
All of sudden, Real Madrid find themselves with too many left backs in the dressing room, especially since Eduardo Camavinga can play the position in times of emergency. According to , the club is now in the market to sell Mendy.
The report claims Los Blancos view Mendy as “reasonably redundant” with both Fran García and Carreras available. The Frenchman must “find his way out” of the Spanish capital if he wants to play regular minutes next season.
