As: Real Madrid is still interested in AF, but Garcia s outstanding performance makes them not in a hurry to negotiate

July 7th According to the Ass newspaper, Real Madrid still has a strong interest in A Fee.

Fran Garcia's outstanding performance in the Club World Cup has not changed Real Madrid's plan for the time being, and Real Madrid's interest in A-Fernandez has not weakened at all, but the overall situation has changed.

But Fran Garcia's outstanding performance can be an important bargaining chip for Real Madrid to not show a sense of urgency when negotiating with Benfica. Previously, if the main left-back (referring to Mendy) was injured and the substitute was not convincing, then Real Madrid was in a passive situation in the transfer negotiations. Now, with Fran Garcia's stable performance, the situation is different.

Although Benfica still insists on a 50 million euro asking price, Real Madrid is not in a hurry to advance the negotiations, and they can negotiate slowly over time. All of this is attributed to Fran Garcia's performance.

A Fee also made a debut in the Club World Cup Benfica against Boca Youth. At the same time, Fran Garcia's performance also brought more time to Real Madrid to evaluate whether to sell Mendy. The French left-back, who holds the Champions League title, remains attractive in Saudi Arabia and Qatar markets, and this is not the first time Real Madrid is considering selling him.

Real Madrid also has questions about Mendy. He is currently the only left-back in the team who is unable to play the role of the wingback. Mendy has limited offensive ability, and he has repeated physical condition and frequent muscle injuries. The tactical style advocated by new coach Alonso requires full-backs to keep running up and down, and Fran Garcia is competent, but Mendy is difficult to adapt.
