Real Madrid’s transfer plans jeopardized as 28-year-old becomes obstacle
Introduction to the article:
Real Madrid’s pursuit of Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies and the impact on Ferland Mendy.
Real Madrid’s Interest in Alphonso Davies
Real Madrid has been targeting Alphonso Davies since last summer as their top choice to bolster the defense. They are looking to secure his signing for around €40-50m, but the situation with Ferland Mendy may require them to adjust their plans.
Ferland Mendy’s Future at Real Madrid
Despite being a regular starter under Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid is keen to move 28-year-old Ferland Mendy, who has 18 months left on his contract. However, Mendy has no intention of leaving as he trusts Ancelotti and relishes the competition with Davies.
Fran Garcia’s Potential Departure
With Mendy likely to stay, Fran Garcia is set to leave Real Madrid after a challenging season. His defensive performances have not been convincing, leading to a potential loan move as an opening in the lineup may arise when Mendy’s contract expires.
