It was announced, it is confirmed. As expected, the so-called Fran Garcia will wear the colors of Real Madrid next season. Carlo Ancelotti had already mentioned the case of the 23-year-old Spanish left-back a few months ago. He took stock again this Wednesday, after the victory of Casa Blanca… against Rayo (2-1), during the 36th day of La Liga. “He’s a full-back with a lot of energy, quick on the ball. He will be with us next season,” the Italian technician simply said at a press conference.
A few weeks ago, the main interested party had however indicated that his future was “fuzzy”. He apparently isn’t anymore. In recent months, the Spanish press had mentioned a five-year contract for this U21 international, trained in the White House. Real Madrid, who still held part of his rights, should repatriate him for €5m after selling him to Rayo Vallecano in 2020, first on loan, then in a transfer estimated at €2m . Fran Garcia played one Copa del Rey match with Real’s first team, his only official match, before playing 119 with Rayo.
