Ferland Mendy Signs Contract Extension with Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Ferland Mendy has signed a contract extension with Real Madrid, securing his position until 2027. Mendy's consistent performance over the past year has alleviated previous concerns about his defensive capabilities, solidifying his role as the team's left-back. Despite speculation about a potential signing of Alphonso Davies in 2025 to increase competition, Ancelotti remains pleased with Mendy's contributions on the field. The coach emphasized that Mendy's strengths lie in his defensive skills rather than offensive play, as the team has a strong left winger. Ancelotti also hinted at potential squad rotations in upcoming matches, celebrating his milestone of 300 games in charge of the club. While discussing his retirement plans, he expressed contentment in his current role, indicating no immediate departure from coaching.
