Real Madrid and Ferland Mendy have reached an agreement for the renewal of the French full-back until 2027, as reported by MARCA on September 16 and later confirmed by Carlo Ancelotti in a press conference. Although the club's official announcement has not yet been made public, everything is signed and sealed. The French defender will continue to be part of the white team, following a renewal driven by Ancelotti's insistence, who sees Mendy as a fundamental pillar of his scheme.

The Italian coach considers Mendy one of the best defensive full-backs in the world and did not hesitate to push for his continuity. Although the club had explored other alternatives in the market, such as Alphonso Davies, the arrival of the Canadian, who could be an option for next summer, will not affect Mendy's position in the team. Ancelotti has been clear on this: the Frenchman is indispensable for his strategy.

In the press conference before the match against Alavés, Ancelotti spoke about Mendy's renewal and highlighted the importance of his defensive solidity. "We are very happy with him. He has renewed his contract and is performing at a high level. Defensively he is very strong, and he can also contribute with the ball. It's not that he has difficulties with possession, but I don't ask him the same as an attacker," the coach explained.

Mendy renews until 2027

Mendy, who joined Real Madrid in 2019 from Lyon, has proven to be a key player in the team's defense. His ability to neutralize rival attackers and his tactical work have made him a reliable asset for the club. Although not as offensive as other full-backs, Ancelotti prefers him to maintain his more conservative role on the field, especially in situations where the team faces numerical inferiority in defense.

With this renewal, Real Madrid secures the continuity of one of its defensive pillars for several more seasons. Despite the possibility of signing Alphonso Davies, the club has decided that Mendy remains an essential piece in its project. Thus, the Frenchman will continue to defend the left wing of the Santiago Bernabéu until at least 2027.
