Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia face the exit at Real Madrid—torn between loyalty and uncertainty, even as they beg to stay.

Real Madrid’s possible signing of Alvaro Carreras could prompt departures from their current left-back options, Ferland Mendy or Fran Garcia, according to The Athletic. However, there is no indication that either player currently wants to leave the club.

The club is looking to strengthen its left-back position with the addition of Carreras, which would increase competition for places. This may lead one or both existing players to consider moves elsewhere in search of more regular playing time.

Fran Garcia has seen limited minutes this season. Ferland Mendy’s situation is complicated by recent injury problems, with recurring muscle issues affecting his fitness. These concerns, combined with potential new signings, have led to rumours that Mendy might be allowed to leave if the right offer arrives.

Real Madrid faces a challenging situation balancing squad reinforcements with managing the futures of Mendy and Garcia. The club’s decisions in the transfer window will be closely watched as they seek to strengthen their squad without disrupting team harmony.
