US EditionTransfer: Real Madrid want Mendy to leave, pick two players as left-backs
COMMUNITY OF MADRID, SPAIN, JUL 25 – Real Madrid aims to refresh its squad under manager Xabi Alonso by selling 30-year-old Ferland Mendy, who missed 23 games last season, while retaining key left-back Fran Garcia.
- Real Madrid placed Ferland Mendy for sale on July 24, 2025, aiming to transfer the left back this summer.
- This decision follows Mendy's injury troubles, missing 23 games last season and Real Madrid's desire to promote younger left-back options.
- Fran Garcia, signed in 2023 from Rayo Vallecano, and Álvaro Carreras, acquired this summer from Benfica for 50 million, are preferred left-back choices.
- Mendy, 30, played 201 matches for Madrid, scored six goals, and helped win two Champions League titles but lacks attacking qualities and is deemed redundant.
- Selling Mendy aligns with coach Xabi Alonso's plan to build a young squad and offers Milan a low-cost option to strengthen their left-back depth.
