At Real Madrid, they have a soft spot for French players! For fourteen years, Karim Benzema graced the Madrid white, and now Carlo Ancelotti’s squad boasts three French talents: Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Ferland Mendy. Kylian Mbappé is set to join his compatriots, while Ferland Mendy could be a key figure in Madrid’s summer transfer market.
Things are heating up in Madrid this summer, both in temperature and in the transfer market. The whole city is eagerly awaiting Kylian Mbappé’s arrival, expected to don the Merengue jersey next season. But Real Madrid, who wanted to bolster their left-back position, has put their search on hold. That is unless a Frenchman shakes things up.
Davies to Real Madrid: Cooling Off
In recent weeks, Real Madrid learned of Nacho’s decision to leave the club when his contract expires in June. Despite being a cornerstone of the Madrid squad, Nacho has decided to seek new horizons. This unexpected move has forced Real Madrid to set aside the pursuit of Alphonso Davies for now and focus on recruiting a central defender.
If Ferland Mendy Departs, Davies Gets the Green Light!
However, according to Spanish outlet Relevo, the arrival of Alphonso Davies is not entirely ruled out. Several factors could sway the decision. Firstly, Davies is under contract with Bayern Munich until June 2025. A free transfer could be on the cards next season, although Bayern Munich may resist. Secondly, if Real Madrid completes several big sales, it could pave the way for a move for Davies. Lastly, the third option hinges on Ferland Mendy’s departure. Despite Carlo Ancelotti’s admiration for the French international, Madrid’s leaders may push for his exit. Relevo is clear: if Mendy leaves, Davies arrives.
