Real Madrid defender Fran Garcia struggled at various points last season, and on his return to preparations for the new one, is not impressing again.
Los Blancos brought him back from Rayo Vallecano after three years for €5m as one of the standouts in La Liga, and he started the opening five games in La Liga last year. Yet after a torrid Madrid derby and Ferland Mendy’s return to fitness, was used only sparingly.
According to Relevo, he has done little to arrest Carlo Ancelotti’s doubts about him. During preseason he has returned in top shape, but miscontrols and sloppy defending have remained in their opening two friendlies against Milan and Barcelona, in spite of his lung-busting forays forward.
The club plans to continue with Mendy and Alphonso Davies either this summer or next, but the Canadian’s arrival will spell the exit of Garcia. For his part, he is happy to continue at his boyhood club, but is wanted by Bournemouth in the Premier League.
With little certainty on Davies’ arrival, it seems most likely that Garcia will be part of Real Madrid’s squad this coming season. It would surprise few if in Mendy’s absence, Eduardo Camavinga or later in the year David Alaba were trusted at left-back ahead of Garcia though. It seems he has a tough job to change minds about him at Valdebebas.

You’re making a lot of sense bro Most Madrid fans like Fran Garcia better because he’s younge But the guy is a liability in defense All the goals we conceded this preseason came from poor marking on his wing
Exactly bro.... You have said it in a short summary of all I said...💯✔️

@The_Phoenix Maybe You need to know that Fran Garcia isn't good enough to play for Real Madrid instead considering his young age factor as a reason why you opted for him to stay and let Mendy who is better than Fran to leave.... Fran Garcia lacks confidence and he's too sloppy in his defending as a Full-back... If we have can see 80% of the solidly defensive minded Mendy in Fran Garcia then there's no reason to let him leave because Fran is 100% better than Mendy going forward in attack....💯💯

You are a big fool Barça fan and a liar too, Fran Garcia Garcia is a Real Madrid academy product who was sold to Rayo Valcano with 50% buy option, Real Madrid activated his buy option and he came as a backup for Mendy. Now why are you fool saying that he snubbed Barça for Real Madrid while he is not a fan of a bankrupt and corruptive club Barcelona? Shut up and mind your own business

Alaba is a good left back. Why Madrid can't use him in that position.
Alaba too can't defend at LB
