Ancelotti’s “spoiled boy” has his days numbered at Real Madrid
Florentino Pérez will have no mercy on any Real Madrid player he feels is not at the level required to be part of the squad. Although some of them are of the complete confidence of Carlo Ancelotti, and are having an important role in the current season, he will not hesitate to show them the exit door, and to study the offers they receive. And one of the most significant cases is that of Ferland Mendy.
It is not lost on anyone that the president has never trusted the skills of the French international , which was a request from Zinedine Zidane in 2019. Although defensively he provides a lot of security and forcefulness, he has very important technical deficiencies , and is unable to generate danger when he joins the attack, showing zero progression in this aspect since he landed at the Santiago Bernabéu.
But despite this, ‘Carletto’ has always bet on him as the undisputed starter when he has been healthy. Although he has experienced all kinds of injuries, when he has been available he has been a fixture in the scheme, and has been on the pitch in all the decisive games. The fact that he never had any competition has also helped the ’23’, since when he met Marcelo Vieira he was already in the final stretch of his career, and Fran García has not worked.
The 24-year-old defender was a bet by Florentino Pérez, which so far has not paid off, as Mendy has continued to play absolutely every minute. However, this summer it is expected that this problem will be solved with the purchase of Alphonso Davies, who is the next priority target that Madrid have set, after having left the landing of Kylian Mbappé at zero cost virtually closed since of Paris Saint-Germain.
The next operation they hope to finalize is that of the Bayern Munich star, who they hope will arrive for a reasonable figure, and which would leave the former Olympique de Lyon or Le Havre player without options to be a starter. And to be the replacement for the Canadian, they are studying to recover Miguel Gutiérrez, who has exploded in the ranks of Girona.
Mendy, with a contract until 2025 and no options to be renewed
One reason that pushes Florentino Pérez to want to get rid of Mendy as soon as possible is the fact that his contract ends in 2025, and he has no options to be renewed.
Because the relationship that the president has with the French agent is very conflictual.
