PARIS (Reuters) – French defender Ferland Mendy has signed for Real Madrid a contract worth 48 million euros, announced Wednesday the club's current player, Olympique Lyonnais.
Since arriving in Lyon in July 2017, Mendy, 24, has played four times for France and has played in the Champions League.
Real Madrid and new coach Zinedine Zidane have started recruiting top players, such as Belgian winger Eden Hazard, to strengthen the team before next season after a disappointing 2018-2019 campaign.
Real Madrid will pay 48 million euros for Mendy, as well as an additional 5 million euros.
