Real Madrid continues to make headlines in the transfer market, even with the window closed. Florentino Pérez's moves to strengthen the white team for the 2025-2026 season are advancing, and everything indicates that Alphonso Davies will be the next to land at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Canadian full-back, whose contract with Bayern Munich ends in June 2025, is very close to finalizing his arrival at the Casa Blanca.
Davies' signing, however, will bring significant changes to the team. In particular, Ferland Mendy's future seems far from Madrid. As rumored, the French full-back would have an attractive offer from Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia on the table, where his compatriot Karim Benzema is reportedly acting as an intermediary to convince him to join the Saudi club next summer.
Mendy's demands move him away from Real Madrid
Mendy himself, who has lost prominence in recent weeks in favor of Fran García, has reportedly requested a salary improvement at Real Madrid, something that has not been well received by the board, as Eduardo Inda pointed out on 'El Chiringuito'. With Davies' imminent arrival, who plays the same position, the club would be willing to negotiate the departure of the French player, especially considering Al-Ittihad's interest.
The signing of Alphonso Davies will not only strengthen Madrid's left-back position with one of the best in the world but will also allow the club to generate significant income from Mendy's sale. It remains to be seen what will happen to Fran García, who has seized his opportunities and consolidated his place as a starter. His future will depend on how Carlo Ancelotti or a potential new coach handle this competition in the upcoming season.
