One of the Real Madrid players who faces an uncertain future and whose continuity is up in the air is Ferland Mendy. Because despite being a key piece for Carlo Ancelotti, and playing as the undisputed starter whenever he is not injured, Florentino Pérez has never been convinced. He believes that he does not have the skills necessary to be a fixture, and that he is the weakest piece in the lineup, by far. For that reason, he wants to sign a new left-back.
In this sense, there is little doubt about who is the favorite to reinforce that demarcation, and Alphonso Davies, from Bayern Munich, is the chosen one. There are already very advanced conversations for his signing, and he intends to sign him at a reduced cost, taking advantage of the fact that his contract ends in 12 months. And this leaves ’23’ in a very delicate situation, especially, considering that he is only linked to the Santiago Bernabéu until 2025.

For now there is no evidence that they are in negotiations to renew, and therefore the most likely thing at the moment is that they will end up packing their bags in the summer, to try to obtain income from its sale, before it leaves at zero cost. And the first people interested in recruiting the French international have already appearedwhich defensively has always been solid and forceful, but has obvious limitations when it comes to joining the attack.
Specifically, the Premier League is where he has the most admirers, and there are two top-level teams that would be very interested in being able to acquire his services, and get him out of Madrid. It’s about Chelsea and Manchester United, that they have thought of Mendy as an interesting solution to the problems that the band is experiencing, and that they are willing to present a formal offer to Florentino Pérez, valued at around 30 million euros.

A figure that may cause the president to open the exit doors to the former Olympique de Lyon, Le Havre or Paris Saint-Germain player, who at the time cost 49 ‘kilos’.
Ancelotti prefers to transfer Fran García
However, Ancelotti does not want to lose Mendy, and prefers to keep him in the squad, even if it is to have a secondary role. And he is much more in favor of transferring Fran García, who has not convinced in his first year in the Madrid first team, after three seasons in the ranks of Rayo Vallecano.
Who will end up being the sacrifice?
