Liverpool are in the picture to sign Real Madrid’s Ferland Mendy in the summer window.
That’s according to L’Equipe, who state the left-back is attracting interest from the top clubs across Europe, and Liverpool are included in this list.
The France international’s deal lasts until 2025, but his future beyond this season remains uncertain.
Mendy has been one of the key figures under Carlo Ancelotti, and has regained his best form. The Italian is aware that Real Madrid haven’t offered an extension, despite urging his club to retain him.
The 28-year-old’s form and contract situation has caught the attention of Liverpool and other clubs. With regards to the Merseyside club, it’s explained that they have been in contact with the defender’s entourage.
Jürgen Klopp has announced he’ll leave Anfield at the end of this season and the Reds are yet to appoint his successor.
Liverpool are waiting to find out their next manager, ‘before going any further’ in their pursuit of Mendy. Therefore, everything is passed.
With Ancelotti keen on retaining Mendy, Real Madrid recently met with his representatives and could soon propose a renewal offer.
