Real Madrid make selling defender their priority for the summer - Reports 

Real Madrid have reportedly prioritized the sale of Ferland Medy ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

As reported by Madrid Xtra (via Relevo), Los Blancos are looking to part ways with the Frenchman over the summer.

Ferland Mendy has endured a disappointing runn of form due to a number of factors.

The France international has been in and out of the Real Madrid side throughout the campaign owing to his injury issues.

Mendy has missed a total of 51 games with injuries since his €53 million move from Olympique Lyonnais in the summer of 2019.

The 27-year-old has played just 1868 minutes of football this season across 25 appearances, providing one assist in the process.

The left-back has missed 20 games this season itself and Los Blancos have not really missed him on the pitch.

Eduardo Camavinga has done exceptionally well in an unorthodox left-back role, while Nacho Fernandez has also done well in the position with his experience and versatility.

Fran Garcia is also set to return to the club having impressed at Rayo Vallecano and looks like a solid option.

It is clear that Real Madrid do not consider Mendy as an indispensable member of the side any more.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Chelsea and Manchester City have shown interest in Mendy in recent times.

The Frenchman has made a total of 130 appearances for Los Blancos till date, having scored five goals and provided 10 assists in the process.
