Real Madrid have been pushing for another Champions League win this season, with Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham leading the way. However, the Blancos also made a lot of “suffering” and helped to climb under pressure. A key part of that effort was Ferland Mendy.
The French defender was for sale last summer but turned down the chance to move to Saudi Arabia. This season he has regained his form and fitness, and can count Carlo Ancelotti among his main advocates.
However, with only one year left in their deal, AS Diary they say he has not received any communication from the club regarding his future. The 29-year-old is waiting to see what happens as Los Blancos are heavily linked with Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies. Earlier reports stated that Real Madrid said they are interested in renewing his deal, but that Mendy had not responded to it.
The Canadian is also out of contract in one year, and Real Madrid will try to sign him if he can get out of Bavaria at what they consider a reasonable price. If not, try to wait until next year to sign him in a free. It seems likely that, given his ruthless record with veterans, Mendy will end up leaving whenever Davies arrives, although Ancelotti is likely to be confirmed for Mendy.
