Real Madrid Planning to Offload Mendy and Target Alphonso Davies

Real Madrid’s squad is facing a lack of depth in various positions, prompting the club to consider reshaping their team with a focus on the future. One position that may undergo significant changes in the coming months is the left-back role.

A peculiar situation has emerged where Eduardo Camavinga, primarily a central midfielder, is currently one of the best left-back options available to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Fran Garcia, signed by the club in the summer, initially secured a starting role but has struggled to make a lasting impression and now finds himself on the bench. Additionally, Ferland Mendy’s persistent fitness issues have complicated matters, raising the possibility of the Frenchman’s departure.

According to reports from Relevo (via SPORT), Real Madrid is preparing to make Mendy available for transfer once the winter transfer window opens. The club considers this an opportune time to part ways with Mendy and will actively explore opportunities should an appealing offer materialize.

Ferland Mendy has played a significant role in Real Madrid’s achievements, particularly in defense. Although his offensive capabilities have faced scrutiny, he is widely regarded as one of the world’s premier defensive full-backs.

However, Mendy has struggled with frequent injuries over the past few seasons, limiting his playing time. Additionally, he is 28 years old with less than two years remaining on his contract. Consequently, Real Madrid’s decision to consider his departure is not surprising, especially as they reportedly have their sights set on acquiring Alphonso Davies as a potential replacement.
