Real Madrid and Mendy Drama: From 50 Million to 10 Million Euros!
Real Madrid is famous for big transfers and even bigger expectations, but now it seems one of their expensive players is on the exit door – and for a ridiculously low price! Yes, we’re talking about Ferland Mendy, the left-back who was brought from Lyon for a whopping 50 million euros just a few years ago. He was expected to be a long-term solution in that position, but… things didn’t go as planned.
Injuries and Disappointments
Mendy spent six years at Real but played only one match at the Club World Cup, which says a lot about his injury problems. His seasons were often interrupted, and Real lost patience. The new coach, legendary Xabi Alonso, decided it was time for a serious locker room cleanup. Mendy was clearly told there’s no place for him in the team, even while injured.
Price Drop from 50 to 10 Million Euros!
Florentino Perez, Real’s president, has already set the price for Mendy – just 10 million euros! Yes, you read that right. From 50 million to 10 million euros! That’s a value drop that could shock even the most experienced football managers. Real is ready to let him go immediately, as other players like Fran Garcia are shining in the left-back position.
Who’s Next?
Besides Garcia, Real is close to signing Alvaro Carreras from Benfica, which further confirms that Mendy’s era in Madrid is slowly but surely ending. Is this the end for the once-promising French defender? It looks like it, at least in Real.
What Does This Mean for Real?
The decision to sell a player who cost 50 million for just 10 million is a huge blow to the club. It’s not just a financial loss but a signal that even the biggest transfers aren’t a guarantee of success. Real Madrid now has to hope the new players justify the trust and don’t repeat Mendy’s mistakes.
Conclusion
Ferland Mendy is an example of how injuries and poor form can ruin a career, even in the biggest clubs in the world. Real Madrid is ready to get rid of him for just a fraction of the invested money, while new coach Xabi Alonso starts a big team reconstruction. Will Real manage to get back on top with new players or continue throwing millions on failures? Only time will tell.
