Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy is reportedly considering leaving the club over fears he will have to surrender his lead role to new signing Antonio Rudiger, with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) reportedly interested in his services.
The French left-back was a key part of Carlo Ancelotti's side that won the UEFA Champions League and La Liga last season.
Mendy, 27, made 35 appearances for Los Blancos last season, scoring two goals and contributing five assists.
However, Los Blancos have wrapped up a deal to sign Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger, with the German moving to Bernabeu on a four-year deal.
Consequently, Mendy is reportedly considering his future at the Santiago Bernabeu, with it becoming increasingly likely that David Alaba is moved to left-back to accomodate Rudiger at center-half.
According to El Nacional, Rudiger is a nailed-on starter for Real Madrid.
Part of the deal he signed with the La Liga champions includes the German international being a guaranteed starter for Carlo Ancellotti's side.
Ancelotti will reportedly keep Eder Militao in the center-back position to accompany Rudiger, with Austria international Alaba moving to left-back.
This jeopardizes Mendy's position in the side, and although he is happy in Madrid, he is prepared to leave if he doesn't have a guaranteed starting role for the Spanish champions.
Real Madrid are reportedly willing to consider any offer around the €50 million mark which they paid for the Frenchman to Lyon three years ago.
There are no proposals at present but there has reportedly been interest from the Premier League and French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Mendy wants to join a side contending for top honors, including the UEFA Champions League.
PSG may be targeting Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy as part of a French overhaul
PSG will certainly be doing this as they have tied down Kylian Mbappe to a new three-year deal after much speculation he will be heading to the Bernabeu.
He may be joined by his compatriot Mendy as part of a French revolution in Paris, with the likelihood being the Parisians part ways with current manager Mauricio Pochettino.
FootMercato reports that the Argentine will be dismissed and the manager the Ligue 1 champions want to replace him is OGC Nice boss Christophe Galtier.
Meanwhile, PSG eft-back Layvin Kurzawa is being touted for a departure from the Parc des Princes.
GetFootballNewsFrance) reported back in January that PSG are pushing to move on the 29-year-old.
It remains to be seen if that still is the case, but he was completely frozen out of the squad throughout the season, making just one appearance.

Mendy should not fare Alaba is a gifted player and can play any position but what he should have in mind is that he must be fit all the time and be in form too cos Alaba can play positions from No.1 to No.6

Mendy and Militao both were weak for last season so we can't fully confidence with Militao too.....so we can go to seria A defender De light and James for RB

C'mon Don't allow Mendy to go let him fight for his position that's all Footballers priority to cement their position. Theirs casemiro, ceballos, camavinga and the new signing Tchouameni all playing in the same position. Please Madrid don't allow that fantastic kid to go elsewhere.

£100m + Achraf Hakimi and a buyback clause; in addition, £30m whenever they win their local league.

No chance to get rid of him, he's young, strong, has winning mentally, if there's any plan to sell him, it would be a lifetime mistake.
like hakimi, Odegard and theo Hernandez

Bro, Alaba is arguably the best LB in the world. He is amazing going forward, super comfortable on the ball, can contribute to midfield and is super solid in defense. Mendy is really good, I rate him highly, but no ways he contends with Alaba. For me though, I'd keep Mendy at LB and swap out Militao for Rudiger. I see that as the better option than benching Mendy. Rudiger and Militao wouldn't necessarily be the most solid CB partnership whereas Alaba and Rudiger would be. Alaba can marshal the defence and both players are good going forward when necessary and great passers.
that's the alaba you know before, he's not good at right back nowadays.. don't forget Ancelotti prefer playing nacho who is a CB at RB than playing alaba there

Whatever made him think he can't be better than Alaba. He has other motives? Oil..... ? I really like him and he is good. He should confront his challengers, and not run away.

we just need to sit him down so that he doesn't go,we need a solid backup like him and nacho around.

Defensively, Mendy is good; but his attacking prowess is not enough when compared to Marcelo, Roberto Carlos or Rudiger. He’s not comfortable shooting with the weaker foot(the right leg). But he’s staying @ Bernabeu may still be of benefit to him if the coach chooses to rotate his players. Best of luck.

Fake news. Mendy is currently a better LB than Alaba at the moment. In fact, Mendy is one of the best LBs today.
