The millionaire world star that Real Madrid would sign for a left-back star

Real Madrid paid around 48 million euros for Ferland Mendy in the summer of 2019 with the aim of him fighting for the position with Marcelo, the historic Brazilian full-back who brought endless joy to the Merengues. However, the Frenchman has not reached the expected level, to the point that he is not in the team's plans for next season. In fact, Carlo Ancelotti had decided to get rid of him in the middle of this year, but only one offer came from Saudi Arabia that the defender himself was in charge of rejecting. Added to this, the low level of Fran García has made the former Lyon player begin to have more prominence in the first team.

Despite this, this would not be the only reason why Ferland Mendy has begun to have more playing minutes in the Madrid shirt, but behind it there would be a joint strategy between Florentino Pérez and the Italian coach, who are seeking to revalue to the one born in Meulan-en-Yvelines to be able to sell him in the next transfer window, recovering in some way what was invested a few seasons ago. Currently, the 28-year-old defender has a value of approximately 20 million euros, a figure that Casablanca would seek to increase in order to go in search of Alphonso Davies, the man targeted by Real Madrid to occupy that sector of the pitch.

However, this plan will not be easy at all, since Ferland Mendy has recently returned to the courts after suffering an injury on the tour of the United States (broken femoral biceps that left him out for a month and a half). So far, Mendy has played only seven games so far this season and in none of them did he manage to complete ninety minutes. But the Frenchman has not given up and will try to demonstrate his level again to turn the tide in Spain.

Madrid is in first place

Real Madrid will defend the lead in La Liga this weekend when they face Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Merengues have just won the derby in agonizing fashion with a double from Jude Bellingham, so they will try to maintain the first place they share until now with Girona.
