Lyon deny any agreement with Madrid for Mendy

Although it looked like the French full-back would be next after the signing of Luka Jovic, the latest publication of the French side leaves this in doubt, at least for the moment...

Zinedine Zidane revealed just a few weeks ago that changes would be made at Real, after a bad season in which they failed to win a single trophy. Madrid plans to strengthen the squad during these months.

The first in was Jovic, although of course, Eder Militao has also signed for Madrid, with Ferland Mendy seemingly the next to join the Spanish giants. The left-footed full-back, who had a great year at Lyon, looked like a good second defensive signing for Real,  The latest information suggested that the footballer had even passed a medical examination with Madrid. There was also talk that Madrid would pay an amount close to 50 million for him.

"Lyon denies an agreement with Real Madrid for a possible transfer of its international defender Ferland Mendy, contrary to what can be transmitted by any of the media," said Lyon. The French side rejected that there is an agreement for the footballer, but did not declare him to be non-transferable to the lateral, nor that there have been no approaches by Real.
