The meritorious hero was injured for 6 months!

Fans who are familiar with Real Madrid know that this La Liga giant will never be soft on players who have little tactical value and are plagued by injuries. Whenever Real Madrid wants to optimize its lineup, some players who are difficult to recover from injuries will always be ruthlessly "purged". This time, Real Madrid seems to be taking action on the 30-year-old French left-back Ferland Mendy.

According to reliable information from Swiss Sky Sports reporter Sacha Tavolieri, Real Madrid has made plans to purge Mendy, and they even plan to terminate Mendy's contract directly. Because Mendy has been injured for 6 months and his recovery is far away, Real Madrid can't bear it anymore.

It is reported that Real Madrid’s attitude this time is extremely tough, and the conditions given are clear and harsh. Mendy's future depends entirely on his fitness. If he cannot prove that he is capable of playing 80% of the team's games in the future, Real Madrid will not hesitate to initiate the termination process. Such a statement may seem cold, but it also reflects the cruelty of professional football.

For Real Madrid, they do not have the time and patience to wait for a player who has been injured for a long time to return to form. After all, whether it is the La Liga championship or the Champions League championship, every game is crucial. The team needs players who can appear on the field at any time and contribute steadily, rather than useless players who are always recovering from injuries.

What makes Mendy's situation even worse is his age and high salary. Mendy is already 30 years old and has gradually entered the middle and late stages of his professional football career. There is not much time left for him to adjust and recover in the future. At the same time, his value has also shrunk significantly, with only 10 million euros left, almost losing his trading value. Under such circumstances, Real Madrid chose to terminate the contract early, which is undoubtedly a "smart account" from the perspective of team operations: early termination can not only save Mendy's annual salary of up to 40 million euros, relieve the team's salary pressure, but also free up valuable player quotas and pave the way for the signing of young left-back players.

However, Real Madrid's decision also triggered controversy and complaints from many fans. Many fans believe that Alaba had suffered a long-term injury for almost a year before, but Real Madrid always gave him trust and opportunities. Now that Mendy has only been injured for 6 months, he will face the fate of being directly eliminated. Real Madrid's differential treatment is a bit of a "double standard." In the eyes of fans, Mendy was once an important contributor to Real Madrid's Champions League victory. His solid performance on the defensive end and interceptions at critical moments made great contributions to the team. Now he is "treated" with such indifference due to injuries, which is really chilling.

For Mendy personally, the current situation is obviously a bit cruel. Judging from his current situation, it is difficult to join a top European club. In the future, there is a high probability that he will only choose to join a second-tier European team to continue his football career.
