Ferland Sinna Mendy (French pronunciation: [fɛrlɑ̃ mɑ̃di]; born 8 June 1995) is a French professional footballer who plays as a left back for Real Madrid and the French national team.

Early and personal life

Born in Meulan-en-Yvelines, France,[2] Mendy is of Senegalese descent.[4] At the age of 15 he spent time in a wheelchair and was told he might never play football again.[5]

During the 2016–17 Ligue 2 season, Mendy made 35 appearances for Le Havre.[6]

Lyon

Mendy signed for Ligue 1 club Lyon on 29 June 2017 on a five-year contract.[7] The transfer fee paid to Le Havre was reported as €5 million plus a possible €1 million in bonuses.[6]

Real Madrid

On 12 June 2019, Mendy signed for La Liga club Real Madrid on a six-year contract for an initial fee of €48 million, potentially rising to €53 million with add-ons.[8][9] He made his debut on 1 September 2019, starting in a 2–2 draw at Villareal.[10] His first goal came on 13 July 2020, in a 2–1 victory over Granada CF.[11] During the league season he managed to appear in 25 matches, as Real Madrid won the 2019–20 La Liga.[12]
