At his young age, Ferland is good defensively and offensively, and this balanced scenario makes him one of the most unique and hard footballers to find.

On 12 June 2019, Mendy signed for La Liga club Real Madrid on a six-year contract for an initial fee of €48 million, potentially rising to €53 million with add-ons.

He made his debut on 1 September 2019, starting in a 2–2 draw at Villareal.
He was champion of the Spanish Super Cup on January 12, 2020

Before his recent move to Real Madrid, Ferland made 47 appearances for Le Havre with two goals, 57 appearances for Lyon with two goals and three appearances for France National Team.

Career:
Le Havre (2015–2017)
Olympique de Lyon (2017–2019)

Real Madrid left-back Ferland Mendy believes he is capable of eventually being a “successor” to club legend Marcelo.

Los Blancos paid a reported £47 million to secure the services of Mendy from Lyon, as he developed into one of the best full-backs in Ligue 1 last term.
