The French left back could leave Valdebebas at the end of the season. See what the player thinks.

One of the current Real Madrid players who has every chance of leaving at the end of this season is Ferland Mendy. The left-back has seen his popularity reduced in the Valdebebas offices since last season, when he alternated several chained injuries with appearances that little or nothing reminded him of his former level, because of which he was signed.

Furthermore, the constant requests for renewal and the increased salary demands by Ferland Mendy's agents have ended up displeasing the board of directors led by Florentino Pérez, so his sporting future is increasingly further away from the Santiago Bernabéu. According to the latest information from Relevo, the matter is close to becoming an emergency.

The president of the Casa Blanca considers it appropriate for Ferland Mendy to leave for a team in Saudi Arabia, where his popularity is quite high and where there are several teams willing to put multiple offers on the table with the aim of acquiring the French full-back's signature. However, even if the club approved this move, it could not become a reality. Why?

Mendy's decision regarding his future

In Relevo they point out that Ferland Mendy does not want to leave Real Madrid because he feels very comfortable both in the Santiago Bernabéu locker room and in the capital, a situation that is ostensibly improved by the support that Carlo Ancelotti has given him in recent games. 'Carletto' already confirmed that he would continue counting on '23' as the undisputed starter for the left back despite the arrival of Fran García. In this way, it is likely that Mendy will stay to fulfill his contract with Merengue.
