Ferland Mendy (31) looks set to leave Real Madrid during the summer transfer window, according to a report from [**The Athletic**](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7361885/2026/06/16/transfer-dealsheet-man-utd-arsenal-liverpool/). The French international defender has been deemed surplus to requirements at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
Following the appointment of Jose Mourinho on a contract until 2029, the Spanish capital club are undergoing a squad reshuffle with several players expected to arrive and depart the La Liga giants before the transfer window closes. Mendy is one of the names set to depart.
#### Real Madrid sign Marc Cucurella
As part of his extensive shopping list, Mourinho asked for a versatile left back who can also play centre-back. Madrid have recently secured the services of Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, further reducing the chances of any consistent minutes for Mendy. He only made 5 league appearances last season.
