Official: Fran García returns to Madrid

Fran García returns to Real Madrid. It was news that was already known, since the president of Rayo Vallecano, Raúl Martín Presa, already commented on it in February, after the closing of the transfer market, and Carlo Ancelotti had also confirmed it at a press conference in the last days of the League. But now the official announcement by the white club has arrived, which issued a note explaining the return of the youth squad, which reads like this:

“Real Madrid CF and Rayo Vallecano have agreed on the transfer of the player Fran García, who will be linked to the club for the next four seasons. Fran García belonged to the Real Madrid youth academy since 2013, where he arrived at just 14 years of age, until 2020. He played two seasons at Castilla and made his debut with the Real Madrid first team in 2018. On Monday, June 12, at At 12:00 pm at Real Madrid City, the presentation ceremony for Fran García as a new Real Madrid player will take place. Next, Fran García will appear before the media”.

Madrid pays five million

Thus, it is already known that Fran García will sign a contract until June 2027. It was already known that he will return after Madrid make his termination clause effective, which is ten million, although the white club pays only five, since he kept 50% of the rights of the winger, who has been one of the sensations of the 2022-23 League. In the last three seasons, Fran García has played for Rayo Vallecano, where he has trained and signed notable performances: he has played a total of 10,654 minutes in 122 games with Rayo, scoring five goals and giving eight assists.

With his arrival, Real Madrid signs a long-term and young full-back (he will be 24 years old in August) to give Mendy competition, who has dropped his level a lot this season and has been hampered by injuries. A reinforcement with which Ancelotti will no longer have to pull Camavinga as a left back, something that has happened repeatedly during the second part of this 2022-23 season.
