Posted on November 12, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. by Dan Marciano Ferland Mendy would never have considered leaving Real Madrid and would have used the interest of PSG to obtain a contract extension. The leaders of PSG and Real Madrid discussed at length during the month of August, in particular the case of Kylian Mbappé. Eager to get his hands on the native of Bondy, Florentino Perez had sent several offers and had let it be known that he was ready to go up to € 200 million. The French player wanted to join the Spanish club, but was blocked by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi . “I asked to leave, because from the moment I did not want to extend, I wanted the club to have a transfer fee to have a quality replacement” confided the 2018 world champion in an interview granted at L'Equipe last October. But the two parties should soon resume discussions on this issue since Mbappé will be free to negotiate with the team of his choice from January. A departure would be far from being ruled out, as the winger still refuses to extend his contract with PSG . “For a month and a half, two months, we haven't been discussing an extension anymore, since I said I wanted to leave. Stay in Paris? We are far from it since I wanted to leave this summer. I'm not going to be hypocritical and come throw a bottle in the sea, like, “Oh, I don't know” he admitted during this long interview with the sports daily. While they could lose Mbappé in the coming months, the capital club could take revenge by drawing from Real Madrid . According to information from El Nacional, Leonardo would monitor the situation of Karim Benzema, but also of another French international. To believe OK Diario, the PSG would appreciate the profile of Ferland Mendy and could land in Paris to replace Layvin Kurzawa , little used by Mauricio Pochettino this season. As explained by the Spanish media, the Parisian team had already tried to recruit the left side at the very end of last season, but the negotiations quickly ended due to the intransigence of Real Madrid . But this Friday, El Nacional made an incredible revelation on the interest of PSG . The Catalan media explains that Ferland Mendy , passed by the French club during his training, used the interest of Leonardo to put pressure on Florentino Perez and obtain a salary increase. In other words, the former OL player never considered returning to France and strengthening the ranks of PSG . A maneuver that has borne fruit as the portal announces that negotiations about an extension have started and are going in the right direction. The discussions are going ideally and Ferland Mendy could see his annual salary increased from 4.5M € to 6M €. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi , who had scheduled a meeting with the player and his entourage, was taken in like a rookie.
