Real Madrid left-back Ferland Mendy is reportedly being pursued by Manchester United and Chelsea.
Real Madrid could sell the French international this summer, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
According to the source, Los Blancos are considering selling the full-back if they receive a cost more than the €48 million they paid for him from Lyon.
Following the acquisition of Antonio Rudiger, Carlo Ancelotti may attempt to transfer David Alaba to left-back, according to Managing Madrid via AS.
Ferland Mendy has reportedly drawn interest from a number of clubs around Europe, including Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester United, according to Fichajes.
Both teams are in desperate need of left-back reinforcements and are rumoured to be interested in the Champions League winner.
Chelsea were without their first-choice left-back Ben Chilwell for the majority of last season due to an ACL rupture.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Marcos Alonso has primarily stepped in for the former Leicester City defender, but he could be on his way to Barcelona.
Manchester United's left-backs, on the other hand, underperformed last season.
Under Ralf Rangnick, neither Luke Shaw nor Alex Telles were particularly impressive, so it's no surprise that the Red Devils are on the lookout for a new left-back.
Since his big-money move from Olympique Lyonnais in 2019, Ferland Mendy has been fantastic for Real Madrid.
He has appeared in 105 games for Los Blancos, scoring five goals and dishing out nine assists in the process.
Which is the better transfer for Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy: Chelsea or Manchester United?
Ferland Mendy, unlike most modern-day full-backs, is both a good defender and a good offensive player.
Chelsea and Manchester United would both benefit from having a player like Mendy on their team.
Chelsea has the advantage of playing in the Champions League over their opponents, which might be a deciding factor in luring the Real Madrid defender to Stamford Bridge.
Mendy, on the other hand, may not be keen on a move to Stamford Bridge given the presence of Ben Chilwell in their ranks. When Chilwell has been fit, he has been a huge asset to the Blues. Their top objective should be a capable Englishman's deputy, and Mendy is much too good not to be a regular starter.
Mendy's chances of starting ahead of Shaw and Telles at Manchester United are much higher.
We'll have to wait and see where Mendy finishes up this summer, but Old Trafford appears to be the better option in his opinion.
