Lyon

Mendy signed for Ligue 1 club Lyon on 29 June 2017 on a five-year contract.[9] The transfer fee paid to Le Havre was reported as €5 million plus a possible €1 million in bonuses.[8] On 19 September 2018, he made his Champions League debut in a 2–1 away win over Manchester City in the 2018–19 season.[10]

Real Madrid

On 12 June 2019, Mendy signed for La Liga club Real Madrid on a six-year contract for an initial fee of €48 million, potentially rising to €53 million with add-ons.[11][12] He made his debut on 1 September 2019, starting in a 2–2 draw at Villarreal.[13] His first goal came on 13 July 2020, in a 2–1 victory over Granada.[14] During the league season he appeared in 25 matches, as Real Madrid won the 2019–20 La Liga.[15]

On 24 February 2021, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 1–0 away win over Atalanta in the 2020–21 season round of 16.[16] In the 2021–22 Champions League semi-final second leg, he made a goal-line clearance to prevent Manchester City's Jack Grealish from scoring in the 87th minute and keep the score at 0–1.[17] However, Real Madrid managed to turn the tie by late goals and extra-time to win 3–1 (6–5 on aggregate) and reach the final.[18]

International career

In November 2018, Mendy was called up for the France national 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.[19]

On 16 May 2024, Mendy was selected for France to participate in the UEFA Euro 2024. He did not play any matches.[20]

Personal life

Mendy is a cousin of goalkeeper Édouard Mendy, who plays for Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli and the Senegal national team.[21]

At the age of 15, Mendy spent time in a wheelchair after hip surgery and was told he might never play football again.[22] Mendy is a Muslim.[23]
