Manchester City is reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy. This comes after several reports linking the club with midfield players, with a focus on creative midfield stars for the upcoming transfer window. However, City is open to other opportunities in the market, including strengthening defensive roles due to some defensive issues this season. Mendy is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs due to his contract situation with Real Madrid.

Manchester City last signed a natural left-back in 2017 with Benjamin Mendy, and they are now considering options for that position. Despite having options like Sergi Gomez and Nathan Ake, City is exploring the possibility of signing Mendy to bolster their defense. Other clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are also interested in the French defender. Mendy’s future at Real Madrid remains uncertain as he approaches the final year of his contract.

It remains to be seen whether Manchester City will intensify their interest in signing Mendy this summer. The decision will likely be made after careful consideration at the City Football Academy. Mendy’s potential move to City could be influenced by other Premier League clubs vying for his signature, and his preference for a move to certain clubs over others.
