The website "Fichajes" revealed that Atletico Madrid is looking to sign French player Ferland Mendy from Real Madrid to strengthen the left-back position, especially given the decline in performance of Rodrigo and the imminent departure of Javi Galan.

The site clarified that Atletico Madrid, led by Diego Simeone, sees Mendy as a player who possesses strength and discipline, and can add the necessary solidity to the backline, in addition to his strong personality in the locker room.

The same source indicated that Real Madrid is open to selling Mendy, especially with their desire to renew the left-back position, which gives Atletico a suitable opportunity to complete the deal.

Simeone believes that signing Mendy would be an important step in re-establishing the team's identity based on discipline, ambition, and collective spirit.
