Manchester United and Chelsea are both interested in signing Real Madrid's Ferland Mendy

Both clubs have had issues with their fullback positions, making Mendy a potential target for strengthening their squads

Real Madrid is open to selling Mendy for around EUR30 million or more as they plan on bringing in a new left back in the summer

Manchester United and Chelsea have joined the race to sign 28yearold French defender Ferland Mendy from Real Madrid. The Spanish club could sell him in the summer, with several top clubs showing interest. Both Premier League giants are looking to strengthen their fullback positions.

Chelsea has been struggling with injuries to starting fullbacks Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella, while Manchester United may seek a replacement for Luke Shaw due to his injury issues. However, Chelsea typically signs players under a specific age group and may not pursue Mendy seriously because of his fitness concerns.

Real Madrid is willing to part ways with Mendy for around EUR30 million as they plan on bringing in a new left back in the summer. Other clubs like Bayern Munich are also keen on signing him.

It remains unclear whether Manchester United will make an immediate move for Mendy given that they recently activated a break clause that saw Sergio Reguilon return to Tottenham. However, any potential transfer would likely happen during the summer transfer window.
