Mendy is from the French team.
Following Militao, Jovic and Hazard, Real Madrid officially announced the introduction of left back Ferland Mendy from Lyon, and the two parties signed a contract until 2025. Mendy, who was born in 1995, was Lyon's absolute main force last season. Although he only scored 2 goals and 2 assists, his personal abilities were visible to the naked eye. At the same time, Ferland Mendy has been successfully selected for the French national team and has a bright future.
Now that Marcelo is 31 years old, he suffers from injuries almost every season. His physical condition is not as good as before, and he is even more unable to defend. Even when Solari was coaching, he would rather use the young Reguilon than put Marcelo in the starting lineup.
Theo Hernandez, who was loaned to Real Sociedad by Real Madrid, has not fulfilled his talent. It is self-evident that Real Madrid introduced Ferland Mendy at this time. From the perspective of technical characteristics, Ferland Mendy, who also has stronger offensive ability than defensive ability, has many similarities with Marcelo. He is positioned as Marcelo's "successor."
