Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy has appeared on the transfer market, and two Italian rivals are looking to sign him on a permanent transfer along with a Premier League team. Los Blancos are determined to strengthen at the left-back position, having suffered a fall in defensive quality in recent matches, leaving Mendy on the fringes of a potential transfer.
Derby d’Italia duo Inter and Juventus are trailing the possibility of signing Mendy from the Spanish heavyweights, according to latest reports from Italy (via TuttoJuve). However, there is a major blockade in Mendy’s valuation, which amounts to €60M – a fee both the Nerazzurri and the Bianconeri would not be able to afford at the moment due to their respective precarious financial conditions.
?EXCL: Ferland Mendy’s performances doesn’t convince everyone a within the club. They believe a €50m player should be better in attack. Therefore, they are yet to respond to requests to renew his contract. @Carpio_Marca pic.twitter.com/WyW1FiLa86

Apart from the Azzurri rivals, there is also lingering interest from Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. The Cityzens are a realistic destination for the Frenchman, given the financial backing of the reigning English champions.
Mendy has 124 appearances for Real Madrid since joining them from Olympique Lyonnais in 2019.
