La Liga
Fran García is experiencing one of the most ambiguous moments since his return to Real Madrid. The left-back was a starter in the Club World Cup and left a good impression on Xabi Alonso, but his prominence has been fading as the weeks go by.
The current scenario is complex. The arrival of Álvaro Carreras has shifted the priorities on the left side and has reduced the minutes of a player who, until recently, seemed to be a fixture in the rotation.
Fran García and a diminished role
The coaching staff at Real Madrid positively assess the performance Fran García displayed when given playing time. His energy, depth, and ability to cover the wing convinced in specific matches.
However, as reported by DefensaCentral, the sporting planning has taken a different direction. Carreras is seen as a more complete full-back, with greater defensive capabilities and long-term potential for growth. This perception has shifted the status of the white academy player within the squad.
Noteworthy Offers
Proposals from Italy and England arrived last summer. Clubs interested in signing Fran García inquired about his situation and conditions.
The initial response from the club was clear: the player is not for sale. Nevertheless, with the passing months and the new sporting context, that message has lost strength. In the offices, a potential departure is no longer ruled out if the offer is deemed suitable.
Florentino Pérez and the Transfer Price
This is where Florentino Pérez comes in. The president of Real Madrid believes that Fran García could be a valuable asset to generate income if there are offers on the table.
The figure is set. For an amount around 15 to 20 million euros, the club would be willing to seriously consider his transfer. A pragmatic decision, aligned with the club's usual policy.
A Satisfied Player with Ambition
Despite the circumstances, Fran García remains composed. He is under contract until June 2027 and feels comfortable in the daily life of the Madridista locker room.
The full-back is aware that he needs more minutes to establish himself. He understands that his prominence has been inconsistent but maintains the hope of seizing every opportunity that arises. Defensive absences have allowed him to feature in the starting lineup in some recent matches.

Versatility as a Strong Point
Xabi Alonso has found a potential tactical solution that could benefit Fran García. The option of using Carreras as a third center-back or even as a central defender in a back four opens up a new scenario.
In this context, Fran can operate on the left flank with more freedom and contribute offensively. This formula has been observed in several LaLiga games. Injuries could once again place him in a significant role.
Comparison with Ferland Mendy
Within the club, a clear distinction is made: between Fran García and Ferland Mendy, the former has more market value. The Frenchman has had little continuity in the past year and suffers from consistent physical problems.
Fran, on the other hand, maintains an appealing profile for various European clubs. His age, experience in LaLiga, and offensive capabilities work in his favor. Hence, his name emerges more strongly in the list of possible departures.
A Future Conditioned by Planning
The institutional commitment is evident. Real Madrid prioritizes the growth of Carreras as the main left-back for the upcoming years. This places Fran García in a secondary position, with real chances of leaving the club in the summer of 2026 if the situation remains unchanged.
Fran García has not managed to convince anyone at Real Madrid, and it seems that his departure would be practically a certainty, whether in this January transfer window or in the summer.
