La Liga
Fran García, 25 years old, is going through a transition period at Real Madrid, where his role has gained prominence at the beginning of the season. Fran García, a product of the club's academy, has taken advantage of Ferland Mendy's absence during the preseason to earn important minutes. He played almost every available minute, except in the Clásico, where he was substituted in the 66th minute. Despite this, Mendy started the season as a starter.
However, Mendy's performance in the league debut against Mallorca raised doubts, especially after being shown a straight red card. This incident opened the door for Fran García, who took the starting position in the next match against Valladolid. While it wasn't a bad game for the Spaniard, he also didn't stand out enough offensively, which is always expected from modern full-backs.
In the following match against Las Palmas, Mendy returned to the starting eleven, but a yellow card in the 40th minute affected his performance. Fran García replaced him at halftime and came close to scoring. The match against Betis followed a similar pattern: Mendy started, but after 65 minutes, he was substituted by the Spaniard, who once again showed a good performance, especially in attack.
Fran García could overshadow Davies' signing
Despite these opportunities, neither of the two full-backs has been able to establish themselves as the undisputed starter. Mendy has been struggling with chronic muscle overload, complicating his participation, while Fran continues to fight to prove his worth. Both remained at Valdebebas during the international break to recover and prepare for the upcoming match against Real Sociedad.
Fran García's future at Madrid remains uncertain. Despite returning to the club after two successful seasons at Rayo Vallecano, his performance has been inconsistent. Furthermore, Real Madrid's interest in Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich adds pressure on the Spanish full-back. The Canadian is highly coveted by the Madrid club, and his potential arrival in 2025 could redefine the competition on the left side.
