Real Madrid may not recruit any players this month, but they will need to do so in the future since, aside from midfield, the squad's depth is now lacking. Departed-back is one of the positions where the team needs to bolster its roster, and Rayo Vallecano's Fran Garcia, who went through Real Madrid's development programme but left after struggling to make an impact in the senior squad, has been mentioned. And Ancelotti has essentially stated that the team is monitoring him.
Garcia has seen a meteoric rise since joining Rayo Vallecano and leaving Real Madrid. One of the best left-backs in La Liga right now is the 23-year-old. Garcia has played 1684 minutes of football with Rayo Vallecano this year, making 20 appearances and contributing 2 assists. Real Madrid is thought to have the first option to purchase Garcia and a 50% sell-on clause.
