Ferland Mendy has all the ballots to continue another season as a starter at Real Madrid. He has convinced everyone with his good level, and has far exceeded their expectations of him. Without a doubt, he has been the newcomer who has performed best, showing signs of his quality, and reasons why they dared to pay 48 million euros for him.
He has seated a whole myth like Marcelo, although it is true that he has long ceased to be the same. And the French international has earned the affection of the stands and the confidence of Zinedine Zidane with solid performances. On a defensive level, it is quite a rock, and provides vital security. And in attack, he is improving and letting go more and more, and he has a good left foot to put centers.
Still, it cannot be placed on the list of the best on the planet, and it has things to polish, logically. Especially in their offensive internships. For this reason, a name sounds strong to compete for a position with him, and to be the relay of the ’12’, who will leave with almost total security. The crack in question is Alex Telles, who is looking for an exit from Porto, which has become too small.
After shining at Galatasaray, and disappointing at Inter Milan, he landed in Portugal, where he has recovered his best version. Something that led Tite to summon him to the ‘canarinha’ selection for the first time. And something that has also caught the attention of several top-tier clubs, such as Juventus in Turin, Barça, Manchester City and Manchester United.
But it seems that the player’s desire is to end up in Madrid. A very interesting option, because it has level and qualities to spare, and it would come out at a really affordable price, around 30 ‘kilos’.
It is not outrageous.
