In a stunning development shaking the Santiago Bernabéu, new Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso has reportedly told club executives that Ferland Mendy has no future in his 2025/26 project! 😳
Despite signing a contract extension until 2027 just last year, the 29-year-old left-back has officially fallen out of favor, with Alonso deeming him a misfit in his high-octane 3-4-2-1 system that demands pace, flair, and full-throttle wing-play.
Sources from Fichajes and MadridXtra confirm that Mendy’s persistent injuries, patchy form, and plummeting market value have forced the club to consider selling him this summer — even if his long contract could make any exit messy and expensive.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are racing toward the signing of 22-year-old Álvaro Carreras from Benfica in what insiders describe as a “strategic reshuffle.” The €50 million-rated defender is Alonso’s dream full-back — young, explosive, and tailor-made for his tactical vision.
And it’s not just Mendy walking the tightrope! Fran García, 25, is also under the spotlight. He MUST shine at the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, or face the same brutal fate. Carreras’ looming arrival could trigger a full-blown left-back exodus in Madrid.
One thing is clear: Xabi Alonso isn’t here to play nice — he’s here to build a dynasty.
