Real Madrid’s summer transfer window may be over already.
Real Madrid pleased their fans this summer when they finally confirmed the player they had wanted for the past few years. Kylian Mbappé is finally a Real Madrid player, and he was already presented at the Santiago Bernabeu with his number for next season. All that is left is the official debut of the French star for Real Madrid, but for the most part, the fans are happy ahead of the new season.
The fans will also welcome Endrick Felipe as soon as he is presented at the Santiago Bernabeu. The fans will receive him as a signing since he will also make his debut in this upcoming season after Los Blancos agreed on a deal with Palmeiras to sign him this summer in December 2022.
The club and the fans were hoping to bring in another player like Alphonso Davies to reinforce the defense, but now plans have changed. Fabrizio Romano reports that Ferland Mendy and Real Madrid reached an agreement in principle over a new deal that extends until the summer of 2027. Reports in Spain suggest that with Mendy’s contract renewal, barring any surprise, it is very likely that the signing chapter will close in this transfer market at Real Madrid.
MARCA reports that Alphonso Davies is seen as a player who can transform Real Madrid’s attack from the back. But some at the club now think Vinicius and Mbappé on the left, making Davies less of a priority. Mendy had a great season with Real Madrid, as he played 37 matches in total across all competitions.
The Spanish outlet also reports that the agreement reached with Ferland Mendy for a renewal is complete. Only the signature remains. At the start of negotiations, Mendy did not agree with some of the details set by the club but now understands them. One of them is being paid based on matches played.
Carlo Ancelotti on Ferland Mendy
One of the reasons why Real Madrid will extend Ferland Mendy’s contract is because of the manager, Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach is very happy with Mendy and has called him the best defensive left-back in the world. Marca reports that Carlo Ancelotti considers Ferland Mendy an important part of the team and knows that together with Fran García, he has a pair of left-backs of guarantees to face the season. Mendy proved some fans wrong this past season as he helped the team perform well in La Liga and in the Champions League.
