After Álvaro Carreras, a new official announcement makes things much harder for Fran García

The issue of Real Madrid's defense remains one of the most complicated so far in this transfer window. In this regard, Fran García, who seemed to be completely out of the white squad due to Carreras's signing, has changed his course. This is due to Pervis Estupiñán's signing by AC Milan, a team that seemed to want the Spaniard in its ranks.

Previously, Milan has seen that the white squad's full-backs deliver good results, as in the case of Theo Hernández. However, they've opted for the South American player and now things are going badly for the former Rayo player.

With this signing, García wanted to make sure he'd get playing time this upcoming season in a team that would bet everything on him. However, it seems that now he'll have to fight fervently for a spot with the player who just arrived from Benfica.

Everything changed

Fran had a very bittersweet season, even being replaced during it by other players in his position. It wasn't the same in the Club World Cup, where he had outstanding performances. This included a goal in the knockout stages against Borussia Dortmund where he was the star.

Milan, with Theo's departure to Arab soccer, was considering the possibility of repeating the operation with the signing of the merengue full-back. However, an opportunity to sign another player arose and, as has become clear, they've taken it.

García now faces a complicated situation this season if he doesn't manage to leave Madrid, since the bet on Carreras is evident. Alonso seems to trust him, but he'll have to fight for minutes in a position of great importance in the squad. We saw it in the season when Mendy was at a high level, when he played very little, and when he wasn't, he didn't deliver the level required.

That's the way it is

If he wants to play for the best team in the world, he has to compete against the best and the path won't be easy at all. However, if he consistently shows the version we saw in the Club World Cup, he does have a chance to be a starter.
