OFFICIAL: Ferland Mendy has signed for Real Madrid in a €53m deal
Olympique de Lyon have confirmed the transfer is for €48m with a future €5m in variables
Real Madrid just keep signing players. This time they've brought in left back Ferland Mendy from Olympique de Lyon. It's actually the French club who announced the deal first. Mendy will pen a six-year contract after Madrid agreed to pay €48m - plus €5m in variables - for him.
The defender will be presented to the fans next Wednesday at 13:00 (local time) at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Mendy, who last Saturday turned 24, is a full international with France and joined Lyon in 2017 from Le Havre. This season he's played 44 matches and scored three goals.
The arrival of Mendy brings the total of new signings up to four ahead of the 2019/20 season. Militao, Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic are the three previous deals confirmed for this summer. All reports suggest they haven't finished spending yet.
