Ferland Mendy Biography – Early Life History

Born in Meulan-en-Yvelines, France, Mendy is of Senegalese descent.

As a young lad, he spent time in PSG’s youth ranks but was released due to a form of arthritis in his hip, forcing him to miss a good deal of football when he was aged 15, while he also lost his father at a young age.

Speaking on his early life history, he said;

“I’ve not had an easy journey, it’s true, but I’ve never given up, now I’m here. This burning desire to succeed, it’s in my character. I’ve always been like that.”

Mendy grew up in a tough suburb on the outskirts of Paris and was taken on by Le Havre in his teenage years just like Paul Pogba, Riyad Mahrez and Dimitri Payet.

Ferland Mendy Biography – Club and International career

The full-back has been snapped up as a long-term replacement for Marcelo, having battled rejection from PSG and serious injury, and we are set to tell you all we know about his club and international career till date.

During the 2016–17 Ligue 2 season Ferland Mendy made 35 appearances for Le Havre.

He later signed for Ligue 1 club Lyon on the 29th of June 2017 on a five-year contract. The transfer fee paid to Le Havre was reported as €5 million plus a possible €1 million in bonuses.

In November 2018, Mendy was called up into the French senior team for the first time after the injury-enforced withdrawal of Benjamin Mendy for the matches against Netherlands and Uruguay. He made his debut against the latter playing all 90 minutes of a 1–0 home win.

On 12 June 2019, Mendy signed for Real Madrid on a six-year contract, in a move that was sanctioned by Zidane.

“He’s the Kylian Mbappe of the left-back role,” experienced agent Yvan Le Mee told France Football. “Contrary to popular belief, the left-back position is the most requested after that of a striker because they’re very difficult to find.

“Mendy is good offensively and defensively, which is very rare. Balanced guys, who are exciting going forward and very strong at the back, are very rare. At his age, there’s no-one better.

“Apart from Andy Robertson, who won’t move from Liverpool, there’s no such talented player in that role available, especially as Lucas Hernandez has a different profile.”

He is now a Madrid player and the defender like his new teammates Eden Hazard, Eder Militao and Luka Jovic, signed for six seasons, until 2025.
