Xabi Alonso has made a resolute decision right after landing on the Real Madrid bench: Ferland Mendy is not part of his plans. The Basque coach has already started shaping the squad for the new season, and one of his initial determinations directly affects the French left-back, whom he no longer considers part of his project. With the recent arrival of Álvaro Carreras to reinforce that flank, the club is clear about the need to lighten that area of the field, with the former Lyon player being the first casualty.

During the past season, the left-back was inconsistent due to ongoing physical issues. Despite being under contract until 2027, Mendy has failed to provide the reliability that the club expects in such a crucial position. Fran García, who also had playing time in that role, is ahead in the race, but it's the new signing from Manchester United who has ultimately sealed the deal.

Xabi Alonso doesn't count on Ferland Mendy

Xabi Alonso, who is using the preparation matches in the United States to draw conclusions, has been pleased with the performance of the young Carreras. The coaching staff appreciates his potential and defensive reliability, which have outweighed Mendy's experience at the age of 30.

Therefore, Real Madrid will seek an exit for the Frenchman in this transfer window. However, it won't be an easy task: finding a club willing to cover his wages and convincing the player to depart while considering his contract demands is a challenge that the board will have to tackle skillfully. Nonetheless, the message from Valdebebas is clear: Mendy is free to leave.
