Real Madrid set to seal Mendy?

According to a recent report from AS, Real Madrid are set to complete the signing of Ferland Mendy from Lyon for fee of around £49 million. The Frenchman is set to battle it out with Marcelo for the right to be their first choice left back, which should almost certainly bring the best out of both players. Mendy is expected to sign a contract that will keep him at the Bernabeu until 2025, ensuring a long stay at the club. Mendy has long since been viewed as one of the most exciting defenders in young football, which is one of the primary reasons as to why Real have been chasing him for so long. The Spanish side are set to make a series of big changes throughout the course of the summer transfer window, as they attempt to dethrone Barcelona as the kings of Spanish football following a pretty turbulent season in Madrid.
