According to AS, coach Xabi Alonso highly appreciated Fran Garcia after an impressive performance at the Club World Cup and a stable performance throughout the 2024/25 season.

Under Carlo Ancelotti, Fran Garcia had the opportunity to express himself due to Mendy constantly injured. But it was that strong rise that helped him win the confidence of the coach. Notably, AC Milan once wanted to recruit Garcia according to the introduction from Luka Modric. However, the representative of the 25 -year -old quickly denied all rumors and confirmed that he was still loyal to the contract with a term of 2027 with Real.
Garcia played a total of 54 matches for Real last season, including 24 main kicks and 7 times from the bench in La Liga. The Spanish player joined Real from Rayo Vallecano in 2023, according to the acquisition clause that was activated by the Royal team.
As for Ferland Mendy, Real is ready to listen to the offer. However, the team leadership understood that it was not easy to find the output for the French defender because he turned 30 and often suffered injuries.
