Ferland Mendy has returned to the field with a solidity that few expected after seven months of inactivity, especially following his convincing performance in Greece, where he fulfilled his defensive mission without making notable errors. This performance, combined with impeccable attitude, has been transmitted to Real Madrid, including Xabi Alonso, who is willing to help in whatever is needed and understands his role, without seeking the spotlight or causing tensions when competing for minutes.

This behavior has been well appreciated by the coaching staff, but it does not alter the planning of Real Madrid, which deems it essential to free up space at the left-back position due to the excess of players in that role. With three footballers vying for a single spot, the sporting direction has determined that the Frenchman is the main candidate to leave in the upcoming transfer windows, a decision pondered for months.

Ferland Mendy loses ground to Álvaro and Fran

Although the player offers defensive reliability and a natural understanding with Vinícius, particularly useful in the most demanding matches of LaLiga, Xabi Alonso leans towards more offensive profiles to complete his tactical structure. With Álvaro and Fran García, the team gains verticality, depth, and a more constant presence in the opponent's half, fitting better into the dynamic style the coach seeks to reinforce.

Ferland Mendy is thus relegated to a secondary role in this context. His more positional style, less explosive in attack, and focused on defensive balance hinder his continuous presence in the starting lineup. Although Alonso acknowledges that his solidity may be useful to neutralize unpredictable wingers in specific matches, his main plan revolves around enhancing Álvaro and Fran, who have already become priority profiles within the project.

The situation worsens with Mendy having extended his contract months ago, although the club decided not to publicize it to maintain flexibility in case of needing a sale. However, his long injury significantly decreased his market value and left the player with few suitors, complicating any operation.

Mendy's Role and Contract Management

With three left-backs in the squad, the club is clear that a departure must occur next summer. Real Madrid does not want to accumulate players in the same position, and the combination of sports planning, market value, and Xabi Alonso's priorities places the Frenchman as the most logical option to leave the team, as reported by DefensaCentral. If any of the players refuse to leave, the entity does not rule out limiting minutes to unlock the situation, although it would prefer to avoid drastic measures.

Nevertheless, Alonso knows he will need him during the season, as defensive injuries will force him to consider Mendy's presence in specific matches. If he regains his best physical form, he can be a useful asset to reinforce defensive stability in key matches of LaLiga or high-stakes European encounters.

Ferland Mendy, an Expected Departure

The club's roadmap is clear: the left-back position must be defined and simplified as soon as possible. With Álvaro and Fran García ahead, the continuity of Ferland Mendy seems increasingly unlikely, and his departure is perceived within the club as a natural step to balance the squad. While his professionalism and attitude have earned him praise, they are not enough to reverse a strategic decision that is practically already made.

The coming months will determine the outcome, but the club's intention seems firm: to prepare an orderly, quiet, and conflict-free exit to close his chapter at the Santiago Bernabéu. As of today, Real Madrid deems it inevitable that Ferland Mendy will embark on a new path sooner rather than later.
