There seems to be fresh tension in Madrid’s dressing room as reports claim that Real Madrid’s board is pushing to offload two senior defenders this summer – and omo, the names involved? Heavyweights!
According to The Athletic, Ferland Mendy and David Alaba are the two players allegedly being considered for sale as part of the club’s ongoing summer shake-up.
Squad Reshuffle Puts Pressure on Big Names
Real Madrid recently brought in younger talents like Álvaro Carreras and Dean Huijsen, and their arrival has reportedly shaken up the depth chart.
Both Mendy and Alaba – who were once regular starters – have now slipped down the pecking order under new manager Hansi Flick.
And omo, this is where it gets serious — both defenders are also dealing with long-term injuries, making things even more complicated. You know what that means? Their chances of regular minutes are now hanging by a thread.
Real Madrid Reportedly Open to Letting Them Go
As per the same report by The Athletic:
“Madrid would like to offload David Alaba and Ferland Mendy” this summer.
This line alone shows that the board is not just sitting back – they’re allegedly taking action.
But wait… this gist get twist!
Mendy & Alaba Reportedly Not Keen on Leaving
Despite Madrid’s interest in selling, both defenders are said to be reluctant to exit. According to The Athletic:
“Both are under contract and have shown no signs of being open to an exit.”
Omo, wahala be like bicycle! Madrid wants to sell, but the players no gree.
What’s Really Going On?
Let’s break it down:
- Alaba and Mendy are both dealing with fitness issues.
- New defenders have been signed, lowering their squad relevance.
- Madrid, reportedly, sees their exit as a way to cut costs and open space.
But with both stars holding contracts and staying quiet about any transfer move, things might be heading toward a stalemate.
What’s Next?
For now, all eyes are on what happens before the transfer window closes. Will Real Madrid convince either player to make a move? Or will both Alaba and Mendy choose to fight for their spots and prove they’ve still got it?
