Real Madrid continues to prepare for the team’s first official match this season to meet Italian champion Atalanta, the European League champion, in the European Super Cup final.
It was mentioned that Real Madrid won the Champions League title last season after defeating Germany’s Borussia Dortmund by two goals to none to win its fifteenth title in Europe.
According to information received from the newspaper Defensa Central, Ferland Mendy is one of the players that Ancelotti loves very much within Real Madrid, and for this reason he wants to keep him for many years. However, he has the possibility of leaving in the current transfer window.
The French full-back has recently received renewed interest from the Saudi League. They have offered him a salary of between €12 and €13 million net per season, but will not pay Madrid a transfer fee of more than €8 million.
The newspaper added: Ferland Mendy is more inclined towards renewing his contract with Real Madrid, with whom he has already reached a verbal agreement. All that remains for him is to sign the contract and make the agreement official.
Carlo Ancelotti was very keen to extend the contract of the Frenchman, who has returned to his best levels in recent months and the Italian coach believes that he gives balance to the team and allows the team to defend better, as Mendy is able to cover the wings without needing practically any help.
This does not mean that Ancelotti does not want Davies, who remains a target for the club. For the coach, the ideal is to have both, to have the best attacking full-back and the best defensive full-back.
The main thing now is to secure Ferland Mendy’s signature, which, given that the verbal agreement is already in place, should not take long to happen and in this way end the rumors about his possible departure to Saudi Arabia.
