“I Don’t Want Him in My Team” – Florentino Pérez Orders Ancelotti to Offload Real Madrid Flop After Horror Show vs Arsenal
Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has reportedly lost patience with one of the club’s underperforming stars, following a disastrous performance against Arsenal in the Champions League. According to sources close to the club, Pérez delivered a clear and ruthless message to manager Carlo Ancelotti: “I don’t want him in my team.”
The player in question remains unnamed officially, but insiders strongly believe the message was directed at Ferland Mendy, whose poor display nearly cost Madrid a crucial result in the first leg. Mendy was repeatedly exposed down the left flank, lost key duels, and gave away possession in dangerous areas — prompting furious reactions from both the fans and the coaching staff.
After the game, Pérez reportedly met privately with Ancelotti and delivered a stern directive.
> “There are no excuses anymore,” Pérez told the Madrid boss. “We’re competing at the highest level. I don’t want him in this squad next season. Make the arrangements.”
The tension within the Madrid hierarchy has been building for months over the player’s inconsistency, but the performance against Arsenal was the final straw. Despite Ancelotti’s loyalty to some of his veteran players, Pérez is now demanding a summer clear-out, starting with the players who are not meeting the club’s elite standards.
A senior club official told Spanish media:
> “The president doesn’t make public statements like this often. When he does, it means decisions are already in motion. He wants the squad refreshed, and underperformers out.”
Real Madrid fans online echoed Pérez’s frustration, with social media flooded with criticism of the player’s lack of awareness and declining form. Many supporters are already calling for the club to prioritize signing a new left-back in the summer.
The message from Pérez is crystal clear: no more passengers at Real Madrid. Whether Ancelotti agrees or not, changes are coming — and some players will not survive the summer shake-up.
