Real Madrid pays €30M for their new full-back, Álvaro Carreras warns Fran García: 'He's really good'

The left flank of Real Madrid is once again at the center of the debate. Álvaro Carreras, signed this summer for €50 million, has become one of the best pieces of news for Xabi Alonso's team. In just a few weeks, he has earned a starting spot with solid performances and an attacking projection that has convinced everyone at the club.

Meanwhile, Fran García is waiting for his turn on the bench and Ferland Mendy remains focused on his physical recovery. Neither of them has managed to overshadow the new owner of the left-back position. Carreras, with confidence and energy, has closed off any immediate replacement options in that position.

Fran García, with less and less prominence

The case of Fran García is a concern in the white locker room. The full-back was one of the standout pieces during the last Club World Cup, but his role has been relegated to the background. Xabi Alonso values his commitment, although he believes that his performance doesn't reach the level demanded by Real Madrid's squad.

With Mendy out of action, the hierarchy is clear. Álvaro Carreras is in charge and García waits without minutes or continuity. The club already assumes that, if the situation doesn't change, the homegrown player could be forced to look for an exit next summer.

Real Madrid prepare a $32 million (€30 million) signing

Far from settling, Real Madrid are preparing a new move to strengthen the left-back position. The target is Nathaniel Brown, full-back for Eintracht Frankfurt, whose market value is around $32 million (€30 million). His name is well-liked for his power, speed, and ability to adapt both to positional play and quick transitions.

Álvaro Carreras himself has already spoken with Fran García about the German player and has admitted that "he's very good." The phrase sums up the impression Brown leaves on those who have followed him closely. Xabi Alonso also knows him well from his time in the Bundesliga and has already given the green light to the move.

If Brown's signing goes through, Fran García will be the main casualty. His prominence has faded, and the arrival of a new full-back would leave him with hardly any options. Real Madrid seek to keep competition alive on all fronts, and the left flank will be no exception. Álvaro Carreras has earned the spot, Brown could be his new rival, and Fran García will have to decide whether to keep waiting or step aside.
