Ferland Mendy has explained why he join Real Madrid last summer.

The former Lyon fullback also had offers from Barcelona and the Premier League.

But Mendy explained to Telefoot: "Madrid is Madrid, that's why I decided, and there was (Zinedine) Zidane.

"We met each other one time and there was not much to decide because he trusted me.

"There were also more French players (at Real)."
