La Liga
The future of Ferland Mendy at Real Madrid has taken an unexpected turn in recent days. Despite the French full-back demonstrating his commitment to the club, an attractive interest from the Saudi league has raised uncertainty about his continuity in Carlo Ancelotti's team.
As reported by DefensaCentral, Saudi Arabia has tabled an economically compelling offer: a net salary of 12 to 13 million euros per season. This figure, significantly higher than his current earnings at Real Madrid, may tempt Mendy to explore new horizons. However, the offering for the Madrid club is not as impressive; the transfer offer is just around 8 million euros, a sum that doesn't reflect the player's true value in the current market.
He is one of Carlo Ancelotti's favorites
Despite the Saudi temptation, Mendy seems inclined to stay at the Santiago Bernabéu. There is already a verbal agreement between the player and Real Madrid to extend his contract, a desire that has been emphasized by Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach has made it clear that he considers Mendy a key piece in his defensive scheme. His ability to provide balance and cover on the left flank, virtually without needing defensive help, is a trait that Ancelotti values enormously.
However, the signing of the new contract has not yet been finalized, and until that happens, rumors about a possible departure of the Frenchman will continue to circulate. Real Madrid is working on closing this agreement to ensure Mendy's stay and thus put an end to the speculations about his future in Saudi Arabia. This tug-of-war between the Saudi offer and the renewal with Real Madrid keeps the fans on edge, hoping that the outcome favors the white club.
