As Real Madrid prepares to take on Deportivo Alaves in the seventh round of La Liga, they are focused on keeping up with Barcelona, who currently lead the standings by four points. Madrid sits in second place with 14 points.
In a recent press conference, manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Ferland Mendy has renewed his contract, securing the French defender’s future at the club. While the official club statement has yet to be released, Mendy has proven his importance to the squad, particularly after overcoming injuries and delivering strong performances since last season.
There were earlier concerns at Real Madrid regarding Mendy's consistency, but he has dispelled those doubts and is now fully committed to representing the team.
Additionally, reports indicate that the club is eyeing a potential partnership between Mendy and Alphonso Davies. The Canadian defender remains with Bayern Munich for now, but Madrid is keen on acquiring him. The situation is still evolving, with Davies possibly becoming a free agent in the future, similar to previous signings like David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, and Kylian Mbappé.
Negotiations are ongoing as Real Madrid looks to bolster their defensive options.
