The 20-year-old centre-back has attracted interest from several clubs across Europe due to his athleticism, composure on the ball, and strong performances at youth level. Now, the Scottish Premiership giants appear keen to bring him to Ibrox as part of their defensive rebuild.
Mendy, who primarily plays as a central defender but can also fill in at right-back, has come through the ranks at Real Betis and has impressed in their B team, Betis Deportivo. Though he is yet to make a senior appearance for the first team, his development has not gone unnoticed, with Rangers believed to be monitoring him closely throughout the summer.
The Spanish reports claim that Rangers are exploring a permanent deal or a potential loan with an option to buy, as they look to bolster their defensive options ahead of a long domestic and European campaign. With manager Philippe Clement keen to inject more youth and energy into his backline, Mendy is seen as a player with both long-term potential and immediate depth.
Rangers have already been active in the transfer window, securing a number of signings across various positions. However, strengthening the central defence remains a priority, especially with the departures of several senior players over the past year.
Real Betis are understood to be open to offers for Mendy, particularly if a buy-back clause or sell-on percentage can be included in the agreement. Talks between the clubs are believed to be ongoing, though no final decision has yet been made.
Should the deal go through, Mendy would become another promising young talent added to the Rangers squad, reinforcing their focus on building a competitive team for the present and future.
