Manchester City want to sign France defender Ferland Mendy from Real Madrid - according to reports.
Mendy, 27, remains first choice left-back for the Spanish giants. However, the highly-rated player was overlooked for World Cup duty by his national team with clubmate Eduardo Camavinga instead getting the nod. Mendy began his career with PSG and signed for Real from Lyon for €48million in 2019.
He remains under contract at the Santiago Bernabeu until 2025. City have already signed one left-back this season with Sergio Gomez arriving from Anderlecht, but he has not yet been able to break into the starting team with any regularity, while Portugal defender Joao Cancelo has also struggled this campaign.
