Real Madrid have reportedly decided to respect Ferland Mendy's thoughts on his future at the club.
With the summer transfer window now in its final stages, Real Madrid are looking to finalize their squad for the new season.
The Whites have already made some significant additions to their squad this summer, including the recent signings of Yan Diomande and Carlos Espi.
Although following the recent rejection from Rodri and Manchester City, Los Blancos will probably close their arrivals section and refocus on the departures.
Since the early exits of David Alaba and Dani Carvajal, Los Merengues have already seen a handful of players leave either on permanent moves or loan deals.
Franco Mastantuono became the latest player to get added to that list, which the Whites are eager to extend during the next couple of weeks.
Ferland Mendy is another player who has seemingly fallen out of favor at the club as the Whites look for a solution this summer.
Ever since the arrival of Marc Cucurella this summer, Mendy's future at the club has been under the scanner.
The French defender has now been pushed further down the pecking order to become the third-choice left-back behind Cucurella and Alvaro Carreras.
According to a recent report from AS, Jose Mourinho is certainly not counting on the 31-year-old for the new season, but the club management will certainly not push the left-back out the door.
As the report suggests, Mendy is keen to succeed under the Portuguese manager irrespective of the uphill challenge which he is currently facing.
The Frenchman is already recovering from an injury which he received last season and is expected to hit the training ground this September.
Previous managers like Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa have shown faith in the experienced left-back in some of the crucial matches during the past campaigns.
There is little doubt regarding Mendy's defensive abilities, but as it seems, Mourinho is more inclined towards more attacking-minded full-backs.
Ever since the departure of Marcelo from Los Blancos, the club has been looking for a player with a similar profile to that of the Brazilian.
Additions of Carreras and Cucurella in subsequent summer transfer windows might just be what Mourinho and the Whites have been looking for.
But as for Mendy, even if he decides to stick to the decision of fighting for his place at the club, Mourinho is unlikely to change his mind unless one of the other left-back options receives any unfortunate injuries.
