Real Madrid's Decision Surprises Those Close to Ferland Mendy

Those close to Ferland Mendy expressed their astonishment at Real Madrid's delay in the official announcement regarding the renewal of the player's contract until now, despite reports confirming that the matter had been settled a long time ago.

According to journalist Mario Cortegana, senior officials within Real Madrid assert that contract renewal announcements are made only at a time deemed appropriate for the club's interests, based on several different internal factors.

It is worth noting that several media reports had indicated that Real Madrid had renewed Mendy's contract (until 2027 or 2028), yet the club has not issued any official statement regarding this matter so far.

Mendy has been playing for Real Madrid since 2019, having participated in 201 matches, scoring 6 goals and providing 9 assists.
