Changes in the Real Madrid Squad
The Real Madrid team is experiencing constant changes in its squad. Endrick and Mbappe are expected to arrive soon, which promises to add new dimensions to the team. Furthermore, Kroos’ retirement will leave a void in the midfield, while Nacho’s departure to Saudi Arabia after 23 years at the club will also impact the team’s structure.
Bayer Leverkusen’s interest in Fran García
Bayer Leverkusen, led by Xabi Alonso, has shown interest in acquiring Fran García, a 24-year-old full-back from La Mancha, offering 8 million euros. Garcia, who has been in Alonso’s sights, joined the club’s youth ranks in 2013 and returned last season after a spell at Rayo Vallecano. Although he currently has a supporting role in the team, he is satisfied under Ancelotti and is carefully evaluating his future at the club.
Situation on the Left Side
The possible arrival of Alphonso Davies to Real Madrid could influence Fran García’s decision. Despite being comfortable in a substitute role, the presence of Davies and Mendy as direct competition could change his outlook. Garcia is evaluating his options and is awaiting clarity on his role on the team next season before considering any move.
Prospects at Bayer Leverkusen
Although he is considering a change of scenery, Fran García hopes to maintain a role similar to the one he has at Real Madrid. Although he would be the replacement for Grimaldo, one of the most prominent full-backs, García would have the opportunity to participate in the team’s rotations, especially given the demanding schedule of domestic competitions and the Champions League.
Rating of Real Madrid
Real Madrid is not completely convinced of the transfer proposed by Bayer Leverkusen. They consider that the offer of 8 million euros is insufficient, since García’s current value is around 20 million. The club is looking for an offer close to 15 million and is willing to negotiate, but until an acceptable figure is reached, they will not consider the proposal.
