The future of Ferland Mendy at Real Madrid seems to be increasingly distant from the Santiago Bernabéu. The French full-back's contract is expiring next summer, and even though he has expressed his desire to stay, the club is not willing to meet his high salary demands. The Madrid board believes that his performance does not justify a contract improvement, especially after his recent displays where he has been exposed as the weakest link in the white defense.
The latest match against Real Betis was a clear example of Mendy's shortcomings. Despite providing an assist, the full-back was consistently outmatched by Antony, who exploited the space on his side to create danger. The defensive frailty of the French player was evident, a recurring issue during his time at the club, casting doubt on his future at the top level with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is already planning for a future without Mendy. The club aims to reinforce the left-back position with a player offering more defensive and offensive assurance. Names like The Hernández and Miguel Gutiérrez have been rumored as potential replacements, although nothing is finalized yet. What seems certain is that Mendy's time at the white team is drawing to a close.
With his contract ending in 2025, Madrid has the last opportunity to sell him in the summer transfer window and prevent him from leaving for free. The situation is clear: if Mendy does not lower his demands or significantly improve his performance, his future will lie away from the Bernabéu. The board has made a decision, and the French player will have to seek a new destination if he wants to avoid being relegated to a secondary role for the remainder of the season.
