MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid signed French left back Ferland Mendy from Olympique Lyonnais on Wednesday for 48 million euros (£43 million) in the latest bid to strengthen their side for next season.

The move, confirmed by both clubs, took the La Liga club's summer spending to an estimated 300 million euros as they attempt to bounce back from a trophyless 2018-19 season during which they employed three coaches.
