Real Madrid is in the midst of a restructuring process and is going after every offer available in the transfer market. The latest addition has been Álvaro Carreras, Benfica's left-back. The young player has had a great year with the Portuguese club and has ended up opening the door to the Merengue team.
With his arrival, Real Madrid is close to completing one of the best transfer windows, since they've signed necessary footballers. Meanwhile, the defender's addition means that Fran García no longer has a place in the squad, since he has never been an undisputed starter. Fran has to make a decision, and it's possible that it will generate a lot of doubt among the fans.
Real Madrid's situation and Fran García
Real Madrid has gone through a bad year in which they haven't achieved their objectives, and their board is already studying how they can solve it. In fact, Merengue fans have shown themselves to be very dissatisfied with the performance and attitude of many of the footballers. Meanwhile, it's important to keep in mind that there have been significant departures, such as Carvajal's.
Injuries and a lack of quality in some positions have led footballers who were initially supposed to be on the bench to play. Fran García had to leave Real Madrid due to a lack of opportunities, but his great performances at Rayo brought him back home. Even so, he hasn't managed to secure a spot in the starting eleven, nor is he considered a key player on the bench.
Florentino Pérez is clear that he's not going to keep players who don't contribute enough to the squad, so Fran García is on the edge. Álvaro Carreras has cost Real Madrid €50 million, and it's clear that he's coming to be a starter. Faced with this situation, Fran can only look toward a better future.
Álvaro Carreras, the golden signing
Álvaro Carreras has spent the whole year at a high level and has quickly appeared on the radar of the continent's biggest teams. Finally, Real Madrid has been the one to secure him, and they're sure to make the most of him. We'll have to keep a very close eye on Fran García, since he has several offers from abroad and could accept them to get quality minutes.
