Real Madrid continues to prepare for the team’s first official match this season to face Atalanta, the European League champions, in the European Super Cup final
Real Madrid won the Champions League title last season after defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 to win their 15th title in Europe
According to information from the newspaper Defensa Central, Ferland Mendy is one of the players that Ancelotti loves very much within Real Madrid, which is why he wants to keep him for many years. However, he has the possibility of leaving in the current transfer period
The French full-back has recently received renewed interest from the Saudi League. They have offered him a net salary of between 12 and 13 million euros per season, but they will not pay Madrid a transfer fee of more than 8 million euros
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 in recent months and the Italian coach sees it as giving balance to the team and allowing 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
The main thing now is to secure the signing of Ferland Mendy, which, given that the verbal agreement is already in place, should not take long to happen and in this way end the rumours about his possible departure to Saudi Arabia
