At a time when Real Madrid are desperately looking for depth in defence, Fran Garcia is facing a rather curious predicament.
Despite being only one of two left-back have at their disposal right now, Garcia is increasingly falling out of favour at Santiago Bernabeu.
Indeed, there has been a massive shift in Garcia’s fortunes over the past 12 months, which has even led to speculation over his future at Real Madrid.
Florentino Perez changes his mind over Garcia
A recent report from Defensa Central has offered a comprehensive update on Garcia’s situation right now.
As per the report, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has had a change of heart regarding the future of the Spanish fullback.

Garcia was believed to be a ‘untransferrable’ entity at Real Madrid. But that has changed, meaning Los Blancos are likely to listen to offers for the left-back in the near future.
Premier League clubs on the prowl
The report adds that Fran Garcia has no shortage of suitors either, with various English clubs, in particular, keen on acquiring the services of the Spaniard.
These Premier League clubs could include the likes of Bournemouth, who have been linked with a move for the Real Madrid defender in recent weeks.
The report suggests these English clubs are ready to fork out €10 million for the services of Garcia, though it remains to be seen whether or not Real Madrid vye for a bigger amount.
One thing is for sure – even if Fran Garcia stays at Real Madrid in the upcoming January transfer window, he is more than likely to leave the club in the summer, as the club look to make way for newer faces.
