According to reporter Lucas Navarrete, although the team has three left-backs after signing AF, considering Mendy's injury, Real Madrid will not accept a offer against Fran Garcia this summer.

He wrote: "It can be confirmed that Real Madrid has recently received some interest and inquiries about Fran Garcia. However, Mendy's injury may force Real Madrid to not accept these offers. The club and Alonso think it is unlikely to be counted on Mendy. They believe that Fran Garcia and AF are two choices for Real Madrid at the left-back position."

In the final of the Cup final last season, Mendy, who had just recovered from injury, left the game after nine minutes of the game, was reimbursed for the season + missed the Club World Cup. It was reported that he was expected to miss 10 to 12 weeks after the operation.
