The claim that Edouard Mendy and Benjamin Mendy are related cannot be ascertained because they come from totally different places.
Also, the fact that the two footballers have two different sets of parents shows at least they are not blood brothers. Similarly, there is no certainty to show that Ferland Mendy and Benjamin Mendy are brothers.
