Both Marcelo and Sergio Reguilon shared left-back duties at Real Madrid during the just concluded season but the latter is now expected to leave the club on loan this summer with the imminent arrival of Ferland Mendy.
Sergio Reguilon has been told by senior Real Madrid officials that he can leave the club this summer.
His replacement would be Ferland Mendy who has made 79 appearances for Lyon since joining Le Havre in 2017.
Ferland Mendy has made two appearances for the French national team since his debut in November.
