Perhaps, Mendy’s rumors of joining the Saudi Pro League come from his struggling form. Unfortunately, injuries have taken a toll on the defender, as he was linked with a departure from the Bernabeu. However, the white club manager, Carlo Ancelloti, expressed his concern for the player while emphasizing his importance.

“Obviously I want him to stay next season. Last season he showed a high-level defensive solidity and now, that he is recovered, he will be important again. Because he is. He has recovered well from injuries,” he said during Madrid’s last season clash with Valencia. The Italian coach backed the Frenchman while also ruling out the club’s intention to sell the player. Regardless of all the rumors, only time will tell what lies in Mendy’s future.
