A Spanish media report revealed the latest developments regarding the future of left-back Fran Garcia of Real Madrid, despite the club's approach to sign Benfica's left-back Alvaro Careras.

The journalist Guillermo Rai mentioned that Garcia is highly regarded by coach Xabi Alonso, who sees him as an important element in his new project and has given him clear indications during the Club World Cup about the possibility of being an important player.

The source added that the Spanish star has a serious offer from Bournemouth, led by his former coach Andoni Iraola, but the player expressed his happiness at Real Madrid and showed his desire to continue with the royal team.

Real Madrid will have Fran Garcia, Ferland Mendy, and Alvaro Careras as left-backs, which may lead to very high competition for this position next season.
