WHAT Happened?

Marca claims Los Blancos have agreed to keep the French defender at the Santiago Bernabeu until June 2027, with an extra season option. Mendy, whose present deal expires in 2025, received a renewal offer from Real Madrid’s hierarchy a few weeks ago. Following his return from his holiday, the defender is anticipated to formally accept the agreement. Mendy’s current contract expires in 2025.

THE MORE VISUAL PORTraitsMendy’s career at Real Madrid underwent a sea change during the 2023–24 season. Mendy recovered his fitness and form after battling injuries for a major portion of his career, so under manager Carlo Ancelotti he became the first-choice left-back. His outstanding performances have confirmed his position on the team, which has helped Ancelotti to grow to be a strong advocate of Mendy’s ongoing presence at the club.

You knew?Mendy’s contract extension guarantees consistency at the left-back post, but Real Madrid’s goals go beyond just keeping their present top players. Reportedly under consideration by the club are Davies of Bayern Munich, who has a deal with the Bundesliga behemoths until 2025. Despite the German club suggesting a significant pay rise, negotiations for an extension have halted with Bayern since it falls short of his requests of €20 million (£17m/$22m).

NEXT END?Mendy’s comeback and dedication to the squad have been especially important to guarantee his position on future ambitions of the organization. Along with the newest Galactico Kylian Mbappe, he is probably returning to Valdebebas following the first week of August as Ancelotti would want to pitch a full-strength XI against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup on August 14.
