Man Utd and Chelsea in battle to sign Real Madrid’s Ferland Mendy

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.
