Ferland Mendy will be a Real Madrid player shortly, except for a big surprise. The player would already be about to pass the medical examination with a Real Madrid doctor in Paris while the two clubs finalize the details of the transfer. Juninho Pernambucano, the new sports director, has given the go-ahead to the departure of the left-back, who will leave the club with midfielder Ndombélé and striker Nabil Fekyr. The former Lyon player, who took office last week, has agreed to part with these three players because of their impact on the market and consequently on the coffers of the club.

The defender debuted with Deschamps last November and has returned to enter the list again of the coach. In fact, already played on Sunday 20 minutes in the friendly against Bolivia (2-0), and although the player specifies his signing for the white club could not be presented until they finish their commitments with Les Bleus. The current world champion has two qualifying matches left for the next European Championship, on June 8 against Turkey in Konya and on June 11 against Andorra in the Andorre-la-Vieille national stadium. Mendy has long since given the yes Real Madrid, especially after knowing by Zidane himself that it was one of his priorities. The defender has two seasons at Lyon in which he has established himself as one of the revelations of Ligue 1. Other Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus have asked about the player, but he had already given his word to Zidane to dress White.
