Real Madrid seeks €10 million for defender Fran Garcia this summer

Summary

Real Madrid has set a transfer fee of €10 million for defender Fran Garcia, deemed surplus after the recent signing of Marc Cucurella. With Alvaro Carreras and Ferland Mendy still in the squad, Garcia's playing time has diminished significantly since rejoining the club. Real Betis is actively pursuing Garcia as a key target for the upcoming season and has initiated discussions regarding a potential transfer. However, the player’s salary demands are a potential hurdle that Betis will need to address during negotiations.
