Fran García is upset with Álvaro Carreras’ arrival at Real Madrid and makes a decision behind the scenes
Real Madrid’s summer signing of left-back Álvaro Carreras has caused internal unrest, with fellow defender Fran García reportedly considering an exit. According to Marca, the 24-year-old feels undervalued despite strong performances and is preparing to leave the Santiago Bernabéu this transfer window.
Carreras Signing Signals Change in Hierarchy
Carreras, who rejoined the club from Benfica for €50 million (R$324.8 million), is expected to take a starting role under Xabi Alonso. His high-profile return after rising through Real Madrid’s youth academy has effectively pushed García down the pecking order.
Despite being one of Madrid’s standout performers during the Club World Cup, Fran García now sees his minutes threatened, a situation he reportedly finds “disheartening.”
Player Seeks Exit for More Opportunities
Sources close to the player confirm that García and his representatives have agreed a departure is the best course of action. With Ferland Mendy and now Carreras ahead of him, the Spanish full-back sees limited opportunity to compete for regular playing time.
Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is open to García’s departure, recognizing the club’s surplus of left-backs and the chance to generate transfer funds.
Milan Lead Race for Signing
AC Milan has emerged as the frontrunner to sign Fran García. The Italian club recently secured the services of Luka Modrić and is reportedly ready to offer €20 million (R$130 million) for the Spanish defender.
A deal could be finalized before the end of the transfer window, offering García a chance to re-establish himself as a starter in a top European league.
