Real Madrid Already Has a Buyer for Ferland Mendy, Negotiations in Progress for 2025

The French winger has lost Carlo Ancelotti's trust and his exit could be quite close

The winter transfer market is closer. Real Madrid has work for a month in which several reinforcements could arrive for the second half of the season.

Meanwhile, the possibility of some names leaving is also being considered, although the club is not ready to let players leave. The only one who could say goodbye to Real Madrid in January is Jesús Vallejo, who has several offers from LaLiga clubs. The player is not in Carlo Ancelotti's plans and his presence in recent seasons has been minimal.

Another player who is no longer in the Italian manager's favor is Ferland Mendy. The Frenchman, who had the coach's full confidence, hasn't been a first team player in La Liga again.

Ferland Mendy's poor season at Real Madrid

It hasn't been an easy season for the Frenchman. The former Olympique Lyon player was key in the white team's last season, but this season he is not putting in any great performances.

In recent games, Ferland Mendy had two rather irregular matches against Liverpool and Atalanta. There has been no news about him in LaLiga. Against Getafe, Athletic Club, Girona and Rayo Vallecano, the band was entirely for Fran García.

On the other hand, the board is evaluating all options to reinforce the left flank. The possible arrival of Alphonso Davies and the return of Miguel Gutiérrez complicate the continuity of Ferland Mendy. This change seeks to rejuvenate and give a new air to a key position in the tactical scheme.

Farewell to Ferland Mendy?

Although he has been an important player in recent years, the level of demand at  Real Madrid leaves no room for doubt. If Ferlandy Mendy can't be up to par, the club will have to make a decisive decision on the matter.

In this regard, AC Milan has appeared in the equation in the last few hours. According to ' CatalunaDiari ', the possible departure of Theo Hernández has led those from San Siro to look for a quality replacement. The operation would be around 22 million euros, a reasonable figure for both parties.

However, in order to let Ferland Mendy leave, Real Madrid will have to find a replacement. Obviously, Alphonso Davies is the name most mentioned, although Miguel Gutiérrez is also present.
