There has been a lot of speculation regarding the future of Fran García at Real Madrid. He has a contract until 2027 and has never really been a key footballer at Santiago Bernabéu. He is coming off a difficult season, in which his performance wasn't very good, but he turned things around with an excellent World Cup. The arrival of Xabi Alonso seems to have changed everything and his career may have taken a U-turn.
Roncero announces where Fran García will play
Tomás Roncero has been firm in "AS", stating that the youth academy product "is not for sale". Although multiple offers have arrived at Real Madrid for its left back, all have been "ignored" because it is counting on him for the merengue project.
In this regard, Roncero has announced that the Spaniard "has come out much stronger" since the arrival of Xabi Alonso. In Italy, there has been a lot of interest in signing him, especially from Milan. However, the proposals haven't been considered.
At 25, Fran García is expected to play an important role next season at Real Madrid. The arrival of Álvaro Carreras hasn't changed his situation. Both will compete for a spot in the starting eleven, which may change depending on the conditions of the matches. Carreras is a more defensive profile, while Fran is the opposite, focused more on attack.
A discarded player at Madrid
As Tomás Roncero has announced, Real Madrid is working next season with a pair of left backs formed by Carreras and Fran García. This means that there is a major casualty: Ferland Mendy. He has been put on the transfer list due to the overcrowding in the position and his constant injuries. The club is actively looking for a new destination for him, but it is proving difficult.
He has a contract until 2028 and there are hardly any offers coming in for him. Roncero has been clear: if he can leave, things would be made easier for him. The club isn't counting on him and his salary is a real problem because it breaks the wage scale and his departure would especially help lighten it.
It's not easy, but one thing is clear: Mendy is at the bottom of the list. Ahead of him are the newly arrived Álvaro Carreras and Fran García, who is now untouchable. Xabi Alonso has no doubts about it and has already made a final decision...
