Despite the presence of the very promising Nuno Mendes, Paris Saint-Germain could take action for a left-back of international caliber. An interest in Ferland Mendy (Real Madrid) is mentioned in Spain.
Mendy in the sights of PSG.
Paris Saint-Germain is on all fronts on this summer transfer window. After recovering a promising medium in the person of Vitinha, the champion of France will strengthen in several sectors.
Milan Skriniar should land in central defense while Gianluca Scamacca and Hugo Ekitike are targeted for the number 9 position. Another position should also be secured: that of the left side.
A serious competitor for Nuno Mendes
If Nuno Mendes has already convinced his leaders to exercise the purchase option of 40 million euros, the Portuguese has no competitor of the same level. Juan Bernat, slowed down by a serious knee injury, is no longer the same player and still does not reassure. As for Layvin Kurzawa, incomprehensibly extended until June 2024, the door remains open to a departure in order to free up the payroll. Two players who will find it extremely difficult to offer a better version of themselves in Paris.
According to El Espaol, the club from the French capital wants to attract Ferland Mendy (27) to solve these problems in the left lane. Freshly crowned with a title of European champion, the Habs impressed in the home stretch of the Champions League, especially from a defensive point of view, since they were able to master their opponents without great difficulty, image of Mohamed Salah in the final at the Stade de France. However, obstacles could arise in the coming months.
An uncertain future for Mendy
The first is called Antonio Rediger. The German’s recruitment is not really good news for Mendy. The former Chelsea player should be associated with Eder Militao in the central hinge, which will push Carlo Ancelotti to find a place for David Alaba, author of a very good first season with the Merengues. The places being very expensive in the middle, the versatile Austrian could be shifted to the left, where he has done wonders in recent years with Bayern Munich.
The other problem with Mendy is its relative fragility. Since arriving in Madrid, the Frenchman has never played more than 26 La Liga games in a season in three years. Injuries that challenge the side of the Spanish champion, who would not close the door to the former Lyonnais. To let him go, an offer between 50 and 60 million euros should be enough. A high price, certainly, but Mendy has shown that he can be very strong in the important moments of a season. It is now up to Paris to position itself clearly.
