Real Madrid’s rumored interest in Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies has cast uncertainty over the future of Ferland Mendy. The Canadian full-back is reportedly a top target for Los Blancos, with speculation suggesting he could join the club next season. This development raises questions about Mendy’s role in the squad.
The Davies Deal
Reports from *Marca* indicate that Real Madrid has been tracking Davies for years, viewing him as a game-changing addition to their lineup. While some sources claim an agreement is already in place, Davies’ agent, Nedal Huoseh, has dismissed these rumors. Speaking to Fabrizio Romano, Huoseh clarified, *“There’s no deal with Real Madrid. While Alphonso has options, nothing has been finalized, and a renewal with Bayern remains possible.”*
Davies’ contract with Bayern Munich expires in 2025, and he will be free to negotiate with other clubs starting in January. Real Madrid, known for capitalizing on players nearing the end of their contracts, has successfully employed this strategy in the past with signings like David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger.
### What It Means for Mendy
Ferland Mendy, who joined Real Madrid from Lyon in 2019, has been a steady presence in the team’s defense. However, his own contract is set to expire in 2025, and the potential arrival of Davies could see Mendy lose his starting spot or even face a transfer.
The increased competition in the left-back position could signal a new era for Real Madrid’s defense, but it leaves Mendy’s future at the Santiago Bernabéu uncertain.
### What’s Next?
As negotiations unfold, Real Madrid fans will watch closely to see if this high-profile transfer becomes a reality. For now, the potential arrival of Davies adds intrigue to an already competitive squad, setting the stage for a possible shakeup in the team’s defensive lineup.
