Real Madrid does not consider any key player. And so it was proven with Casemiro last summer, who asked to leave, after receiving an irrefutable offer from Manchester United. Despite being hugely important in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans, and still a very valuable piece despite the addition of Choameni, Florentino Perez decided not to stand in his way
And he was allowed to sell it to Old Trafford for a figure higher than 70 million euros. Quite a lot of money for a player who is already 30 years old, so it was an operation that made everyone happy and satisfied. Now, this history may repeat itself and another regular bearer is the one who may pack his bags to start a new adventure at another joint. Although, of course, they expect to receive significant financial compensation first
The one he referred to was Ferland Mendy, who has been untouchable in the white box since his arrival, over three years ago. However, the truth is that he only plays everything because he has no competition in place, something that could change really soon, as it has been leaked that from the Santiago Bernabéu they intend to recruit a new left-back, namely Fran García, from Rayo Vallecano and Alfonso Boyle Davis from Bayern Munich, the two options they like the most
This would prompt the France international to want to change his mind, and go somewhere else where he could be guaranteed a booked place in the starting line-up. And if that’s what he wants, Florentino Perez is totally open to negotiating, even though he’s already set a starting price, and won’t make a discount. In particular, he claims 50 kilos, exactly the same that he had to spend at the time to be able to take him away from Olympique Lyonnais, a personal request from Zinedine Zidane
No team has leaked interest yet, although PSG, Turin’s Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan are said to be closely monitoring his situation
Mendy’s actor pulls the rope
One of the reasons Madrid have actively reconsidered selling Mendy is the pressure they are receiving from their representative. And he is asking to renew his contract for some time, although he signed it until 2025, with a significant increase in his salary
Some requests that Florentino Perez does not seem ready to fulfill, which has generated a climate of tension, could lead to the departure of the 27-year-old defender
