Chelsea targets Real Madrid’s Ferland Mendy to strengthen defensive Arsenal
According to Fichajes, Chelsea Football Club is seemingly targeting Real Madrid defensive stalwart Ferland Mendy in an attempt to expand their left-back options.
The Blues are looking for an alternative for Marc Cucurella after being unhappy with his performance since joining from Brighton, and Mendy seems to be a leading possibility.
The 28-year-old French international has been on the outer edges of Real Madrid this season, making only eight league starts. Mendy, who is hoping for continuous game time at the highest point of his career, sees Chelsea as a potential springboard for restarting his career.
The prospect of donning the renowned blue uniform and competing on a regular basis in the Premier League may be too much for the promising defender.
Chelsea’s pursuit of defensive reinforcements has been intensified by Ian Maatsen’s likely exit from Stamford Bridge in January. Mendy’s experience and proven abilities may easily replace the void created by the talented young defender’s departure.
While talks are ongoing, there is hope that Mendy could be signed at a reasonable price, providing Chelsea with a seasoned performer hungry for success.
Mendy’s move to Stamford Bridge might give him a new platform to show his talents, compete for big prizes, and revive his career at the top level of English football.
The footballing world awaits to see if Chelsea’s chase of the valued defender will materialize and strengthen the Blues’ quest for win in the coming seasons.
