Real Madrid accelerate Mendy's departure, set for summer exit to cut losses

According to AS, Real Madrid have begun evaluating the sale of left-back Ferland Mendy in the upcoming summer transfer window, with the core motive being to avoid a significant depreciation in his market value as he enters the final year of his contract. The club's management believes that if the transfer is delayed until next year, the player's bargaining power will sharply decline, making it difficult to recoup a substantial transfer fee. There are currently no specific offers, but Real Madrid clearly intend to push forward the deal after this season to maximize asset returns. Mendy's contract with Real Madrid runs until 2027, making this summer the ideal window for his sale.
