According to Defensa Central, coach Carlo Ancelotti is planning to sell Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia if they do not improve their performance by the end of this season.
Mendy and Garcia face uncertain futures at Real
Ancelotti chose Eduardo Camavinga at left-back against Sevilla last weekend, despite Mendy and Garcia being both fit. This is clearly a stern reminder to the duo that their place in the squad is at stake.

Los Blancos are still rumored to recruit Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies. The Canadian winger is in the final year of his contract with the Bavarians and has yet to sign an extension. According to reports, the La Liga giants are planning to sign him on a Bosman transfer at the end of this season.
In recent years, Ancelotti has favored Mendy for the left-back position, but the Frenchman has not been in good form this season. Mendy has yet to score a goal in 17 matches for Real Madrid this season.
Davies can replace Mendy and Garcia
Meanwhile, Fran Garcia has made 19 appearances in all competitions this season but has not scored a goal or had an assist. He is now 25 years old and seems to have no ability to develop further.
Therefore, Real Madrid may consider an offer for this duo unless they improve their performance from now until the end of the season. Garcia could be part of the club’s long-term plans due to being a product of the youth system, so Mendy is the one under the most pressure.
However, if the Frenchman can regain his form in the coming months, Garcia is the one who faces a higher risk of being sold.
