Battle for defensive supremacy as English powerhouses fight for Mendy’s signature
English giants Chelsea and Manchester United are getting ready for a summer clash to gain the services of Real Madrid’s seasoned defender, Ferland Mendy, in a heated struggle for defensive prowess.
According to Fichajes, both Premier League titans have set their sights on the 28-year-old French international, who may be looking for a fresh start at the end of the current season.
Manchester United has identified Mendy as a top target in their quest to strengthen their backline. With injury concerns surrounding Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia struggling to get a regular berth, the Red Devils are looking to Mendy as a possible solution to their left-back dilemma.
Chelsea, after spending big money on Marc Cucurella, are still lacking in the left-back position. With rumours of Ian Maatsen’s possible departure circulating, Mauricio Pochettino is looking to add depth, and Mendy emerges as a reliable alternative for adding to the regular Ben Chilwell.
If an intriguing offer of roughly €55 million (£47 million) is submitted, Real Madrid appears open to negotiations, though the English competitors may aim to negotiate the sum down.
Mendy, a proven winner with La Liga and UEFA Champions League titles to his name, is ready for regular playing time, a desire shared by Chelsea and Manchester United.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the financial titans are bracing for a battle to sign Mendy and strengthen their defensive lines with a player of substantial experience and championship pedigree.
