The performance of Ferland Mendy is causing doubts both on the Real Madrid bench and among the fans. Although Carlo Ancelotti has considered him one of the best defenders in his position, the French full-back's recent performances have left much to be desired, raising questions about his continuity in the white team.
Mendy, who renewed his contract until 2027, is failing to maintain the level that made him a key player in past seasons. His traditionally solid defensive statistics have significantly declined, and his performance in important matches has been questioned. In key duels, such as clashes against Liverpool, Lille, or Barcelona, the full-back has shown a worrying decline, being easily surpassed and making mistakes that have compromised the team.
Real Madrid's patience with Mendy is running out
Internal competition is also increasing the pressure. Fran García, a homegrown player who returned to the club this season, is earning minutes gradually and, although not yet a permanent starter, is emerging as a reliable alternative. Ancelotti is giving him more prominence in high-level matches, hinting that confidence in Mendy may be dwindling, as stated by the newspaper AS.
With these signals, it is not surprising that Real Madrid is evaluating options in the market to strengthen the left-back position. The sports management seems to be considering a possible departure of the Frenchman next summer if he fails to reverse this situation. Although his defensive quality remains undeniable, the inconsistency and doubts about his physical condition have weakened his position in the team. Time is running out for Mendy, and if he does not regain his best form, his future at the Santiago Bernabéu may be coming to an end.
