Real Madrid 24-year-old star’s future hinges on club’s pursuit of Bayern Munich ace

Real Madrid 24-year-old star’s future hinges on club’s pursuit of Bayern Munich ace

The future of Fran Garcia at Real Madrid is getting complicated with each passing day.

Coming on the back of a muted 2023/24 campaign, Garcia has not been able to establish himself as a first-team regular at Santiago Bernabeu.

With Real Madrid in talks to sign Alphonso Davies this summer, Garcia’s future has come under the microscope, with reports linking him with a move away from the Bernabeu.

Garcia’s future depends on Davies pursuit

A recent report from AS has offered an update on the future of Fran Garcia, suggesting that the defender’s continuity at Real Madrid would depend on the club’s pursuit of Davies.

The European champions are determined to sign Davies this summer, especially with Bayern Munich seemingly losing hope in retaining his services.

Should Davies join Real Madrid this summer, Carlo Ancelotti will continue with Ferland Mendy as the club’s number-one left-back while Fran Garcia’s role could dwindle further.

That could eventually lead to the Spaniard’s departure. The player has no shortage of suitors either, with Bournemouth among the clubs reportedly interested in his services.

However, if Real Madrid fail to sign Alphonso Davies this summer, Garcia could continue serving as the alternative to Ferland Mendy in the left-back position.

Latest on Alphonso Davies

For the time being, Real Madrid’s negotiations with Bayern Munich for Alphonso Davies have been put on hold until the end of Copa America.

Davies’ Canada has recently lost to Argentina in the semifinals, but the North American giants are slated to play a third-placed game against the loser of the second semifinal between Uruguay and Colombia.

As Real Madrid wait for Copa America to conclude, the club are focusing on the deal to sign another top defensive target in the form of Leny Yoro.
