Despite the disappointment at the Club World Cup, Xabi Alonso managed to take away some positives from the tournament. One of them was the level shown by Fran García. The Real Madrid youth product excelled both in defense and attack and was one of the most outstanding players.
His speed, accuracy in crosses, and bravery in one-on-one situations surprised many. However, Xabi Alonso already knew the potential of the young left-back. That's why he gave him trust from the very first match, and Fran García delivered in spades.
His performance in the tournament has raised his status within the locker room and among the fans. Many already see him as the undisputed starter on the left flank. Xabi, aware of what he can contribute, is determined to make the most of all his qualities.
Fran García consolidates himself and his high level doesn't go unnoticed outside Bernabéu
Fran García's performances haven't only been valued internally. His level in recent matches has attracted attention in other major European venues. As expected, the first offers for him have already arrived.
In this context, it must be considered that the left-back's situation could change soon. Because, beyond the rumors, competition within the team is about to increase. Álvaro Carreras is very close to joining and strengthening that same side.
A major European club has inquired about Fran García and has already submitted a formal offer
One of the clubs that have shown the most interest has been AC Milan. The Italian side is looking for a left-back after Theo Hernández's move to Saudi Arabia. Fran García has been chosen to fill that important gap in the starting eleven.
Milan has submitted an offer to try to sign him, although no exact figures have been revealed. Fran's performance has convinced the Italian coaching staff and they consider him the ideal option. In addition, his young profile and potential fit with their sporting policy.
Real Madrid's response has been clear: Fran García will remain at Bernabéu
However, Real Madrid has rejected the offer without hesitation. Xabi Alonso wants to count on Fran García and believes his role will be key this season. The coach thinks he can develop even further and be decisive in major matches.
Moreover, the imminent arrival of Álvaro Carreras doesn't change the continuity plans for Fran García. Both can coexist in the team and provide different options on the left wing. Internal competition will be high, but that will benefit the team's overall performance.
For now, Fran García won't leave Bernabéu, despite the siren calls coming from Italy. His immediate future is tied to Real Madrid and his desire also points in that direction. The commitment to him is firm and, as seen, well deserved.
