Real Madrid are considering buying back Fran Garcia from Rayo Vallecano.

Marca says Fran Garcia has played 31 games in the LaLiga Santander and the Copa del Rey. He stands out for his speed and directness in his play. His understanding with Alvaro Garcia on Rayo's left wing is impressive, and has helped to elevate the Vallecas side this season.

The defender was sold to Rayo last summer in exchange for two million euros, though Los Blancos retained 50 percent of his rights.

They know that with Fran Garcia they have a valuable talent, although so far his career has been in the youth team and with Rayo. No definitive decision has been made, but the chances of him returning home to Valdebebas have increased. It should also be remembered that he would help the club to meet the homegrown quota required.

The fact is that with either of the two options that are currently on the table, Real Madrid would remain faithful to the strategy that they have set out weeks ago and which aims to focus their funds on their attack.

Real Madrid believe that the left-back position could be well covered by either of the two, without overlooking different players who have been playing for other teams in the academy.
