La Liga
Real Madrid continues to shape its squad for the upcoming season, and one of the most anticipated moves seemed to be the potential departure of Fran García. However, in an unexpected turn, Xabi Alonso has decided to firmly support the youth academy player, expressing his desire to keep him in the team. The coach from Donostia has been clear: he does not want any proposals for the left-back to be considered.
Fran García's name had gained prominence in recent days, especially after Álvaro Carreras joined the team. Everything pointed to him being the one sacrificed, but his outstanding performances in the past Club World Cup have completely changed the perception. His performance in that competition made an impression and convinced Alonso that his profile fits perfectly into the wing-back scheme he wants to implement.
Xabi considers him vital for Real Madrid's squad
Despite sharing the position with Real Madrid's new signing, Álvaro Carreras, the former Rayo Vallecano player has proven to be more than ready to compete for a spot. His ability to cover ground and his offensive involvement give him added value that Xabi does not want to overlook. Within the club, it is already acknowledged that, as of today, everything indicates that he will stay at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Fran himself has shown his commitment, stating that he only thinks about working and continuing to wear the white jersey. His wish to stay has received backing from a coach who fully trusts in his qualities.
The decision has been made: Fran García will not leave Real Madrid this summer. Xabi Alonso has been decisive in preventing his departure and wants him to be an important piece of his project. Now, the competition for the left-back position promises to be exciting, but Fran knows he has the coach's trust.
