Juventus can do Real Madrid a big favor, Xabi Alonso's castoff

The Serie A side has reportedly shown interest in a footballer who is not part of the Basque plans

Summer is progressing at Real Madrid and, although the club has already made some sales, departures of several footballers are also expected. In this context, Fran García could be living his final days as a player for the Chamartín side. The left-back, with no place in Xabi Alonso's plans, has attracted interest from Juventus de Turín.

The Italian club's goal, having secured their qualification for the Champions League, is to strengthen their left flank with an affordable and proven option. The Italian side, closely monitoring the moves of the Madrid club, see the Madridist as a great market opportunity given his possible imminent departure.

Álvaro Carreras could completely displace Fran García

At Valdebebas, preparations are already underway for the arrival of Álvaro Carreras from SL Benfica, a move that could leave Fran García with no room in the squad. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are moving urgently to finalize their squad list for the Club World Cup in time. However, the youth product of the Madrid side, who has already been registered with the Da Luz team, won't be under Xabi Alonso's orders.

Even so, Real Madrid trust the footballer's arrival. The plan is to lower the clause for Benfica and secure the signing after the Club World Cup. In any case, the Madrid club won't abandon an Álvaro Carreras who had already pictured himself wearing the white jersey.

Juventus monitoring Fran García's situation

Juventus consider Fran García a serious alternative to Nuno Tavares, their main target for the left flank. However, the difficulties in negotiating with Lazio for the Portuguese player could push the 'Vecchia Signora' to go after the Spaniard.

At 25 years old and with experience in LaLiga and the Champions League, Fran García would be an interesting piece for an evolving club like Juventus. Although he hasn't managed to establish himself in the Madridist starting eleven, his potential and dynamism are still highly valued. Everything suggests that his future will be decided in the coming days, with Turin determined to seize the opportunity.
