Madrid expecting a huge Saudi offer for Mendy

Real Madrid's talent is once again on Saudi Arabia's radar. After taking Karim Benzema off their hands, as well as trying to tempt the likes of Modric and Kroos, the Gulf state is now turning its attention to the signing of Ferland Mendy, who reportedly has the green light for a departure, according to 'SER'.

The outlet writes that 'Los Merengues' are waiting for a good offer to give the final 'ok' on the Frenchman's departure, whose injuries have left him somewhat sidelined during his time with the Spanish giants.

It's worth noting that Mendy is under contract until 2025 and would has a release clause of €250 million. Madrid however, would be willing to accept a bid of just €50 million, to break even on the defender.

On top of Saudi interest, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are also keeping an eye on Mendy, who isn't totally eager to leave his club. If the French international did decide to leave, it would make the signing of Alphonso Davies look all the more likely for Madrid.
