Real Madrid look to steal Lyon defender Mendy away from Juventus

According to what has been reported by Spanish newspaper AS, Real Madrid are closing in on Lyon defender Ferland Mendy. Mendy, however, has been a target of Juventus as well but the Bianconeri have failed to move in time as Los Blancos look to get all their transfer business wrapped up as soon as possible; the La Liga giants already having all-but confirmed the signing of Chelsea's Eden Hazard, whilst having completed the deal of Eintracht Frankfurt forward Luka Jovic a couple of days ago.

Juventus will now have to source an alternative for Mendy; as the Italian club look to instigate a reshuffle in defence.
