According to <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1816391391909490905?t=R6t047FTzCYWFH2YpcfsHw&amp;s=19" target="_blank">Marca</a>, Los Blancos have agreed to keep the French defender at the Santiago Bernabeu until June 2027, with an option for an additional season. Mendy, whose current contract was due to expire in 2025, received the renewal offer from Real Madrid's hierarchy a few weeks ago and the defender is expected to formalize the agreement shortly after he returns from his vacation, following his participation in France's Euro 2024 campaign.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The 2023-24 season marked a turning point in Mendy's career at Real Madrid. After struggling with injuries for a significant part of his tenure, Mendy regained his fitness and form, becoming the first-choice left-back under manager Carlo Ancelotti. His impressive performances have solidified his place in the team which has led Ancelotti to become a strong advocate for Mendy's continued presence at the club.

DID YOU KNOW?

Mendy's resurgence and commitment to the club have been pivotal, ensuring his place in the team's future plans. He is likely to be back at Valdebebas after the first week of August, along with the latest Galactico Kylian Mbappe, as Ancelotti would look to field a full-strength XI against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup on August 14.
