Mendy: “It is an honour to join the biggest club in the world”

The left-back spoke as a Real Madrid player for the first time.


It may only be June 19th, but Real Madrid have already presented four summer signings and Ferland Mendy was given his outing on the pitch of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday. The French left-back has arrived from Lyon and is excited to sign with Real Madrid and to work with Zinedine Zidane.


Before going out to meet the fans, the 24-year-old spoke at the podium inside the stadium. "It is an honour to be at this club, the biggest club in the world," he said. "I thank the president for his confidence in me. Hala Madrid!"


Florentino Perez was the one to introduce the France international to the club’s guests and to the assembled media. "We’re going through very exciting days as we enter a new era that we hope will made Real Madrid fans’ dreams come true," he said. "We have won three Champions Leagues in three years, but now it’s time to move forward. Despite the complications of the football transfer market, we’re bringing in top players. This is a great day for this club as we welcome the player who has been named the best left-back of Ligue 1 in the past two seasons."


Perez then addressed the player directly. "You’ve chosen Real Madrid, when we know many other great clubs of Europe wanted you," Perez said. "But you picked Real Madrid’s shirt because this was your wish. You are a great example of overcoming difficulties and of the Real Madrid value of never giving up."


Perez also spoke of the great connection Real Madrid have with Lyon, the same club Karim Benzema arrived from one decade ago. "You’re coming to Real Madrid from Lyon, a club that is a friend of ours," the president stated. "It’s a club that is an example thanks to their president Jean-Michel Aulas."


Now, Mendy will hope to be the latest Frenchman to enjoy success in the Spanish capital.
