Ferland Mendy's contract renewal is close to becoming a reality. Extending his contract with Real Madrid was a priority set by Carlo Ancelotti, and the club's directors began working on it before the end of last season. Now, it appears that the long-awaited agreement could be finalized as soon as the full-back returns from vacation.

Mendy has managed to turn around a situation that almost led him to consider a change in his sporting career. When injuries have not been an issue, he has proven himself to be, as Carlo Ancelotti predicted, the best defensive full-back in the world. This is supported by opponents like Lamine Yamal and statistics from the last Champions League edition, where no forward was able to surpass him, contributing to Real Madrid's victory in London.

Zinedine Zidane's advice was crucial for Real Madrid to sign Mendy from Olympique Lyon in 2019. Despite struggling with injuries initially, last season saw a significant improvement in his performance, bolstered by his physical recovery and the unwavering confidence of both Ancelotti and the entire team.

A few weeks ago, Real Madrid's directors expressed their desire to extend Mendy's contract to his representatives, which was well received by the player. Despite receiving lucrative offers from Saudi clubs, Mendy remains committed to Real Madrid. The club is confident that the agreement will be finalized in the coming days, extending Mendy's stay beyond his current contract, which runs until June 30, 2025.
