Agent of Lyon fullback Mendy reveals Juventus interest

The agent of Lyon fullback Ferland Mendy has revealed interest from Juventus.

Mendy is a target for Real Madrid ahead of the summer market.

However, Yves Lee told Tuttosport: “Mendy is left-footed, but he also has a good right foot that allows him to come inside often.

“Right now, left-back is a rare and expensive role. Lyon haven't put Mendy on the market and President Aulas would like to enjoy him for another season.

“However, it depends on the offers: if the right one arrives, especially at the level of sporting project, we'll look for an agreement with Lyon, which can please everyone.

“Mendy's decision will be based on technicalities, not just economic factors: otherwise we'd go to China.

“There have only been enquiries for him so far. I can say that, in England and Spain, there's greater economic availability, but Serie A is always attractive for French players.

“Alex Sandro is a top left-back and it won't be easy for Juve to replace him in the event of a transfer.

“Mendy is on the Bianconeri's shortlist, as are all the big names. The friendship between Agnelli and Aulas can help, but ultimately only the numbers count for everyone."
