Real Madrid defender set for imminent Premier League transfer

Real Madrid defender set for imminent Premier League transfer Real Madrid have been very busy over the last few weeks, with four signings have already been finalised by the club’s sporting department. Ibrahima Konate, Denzel Dumfries, Bernardo Silva and Marc Cucurella will all head to the Bernabeu later this summer, although the latter’s arrival, which was confirmed on Sunday , will have a knock-on effect for one current member of Jose Mourinho’s squad. The addition of Cucurella means that Real Madrid now have four first team left-backs, with the other three being Alvaro Carreras, Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia. It is guaranteed that at least one of them will leave this summer, with the favoured candidate being the latter. Real Madrid see Carreras as a possible succession plan, while Mendy’s experience will be a valuable asset, even if he continues to struggle with injury problems. That leaves Garcia as the odd man out, and less than 24 hours after Cucurella’s signing was made known, it’s been revealed by Sport that an exit for the 26-year-old is imminent. The report from Catalonia claims that Garcia is set for a move to the Premier League. It must be remembered that Bournemouth tried to sign him during the winter transfer window, so there is a chance that they have rekindled their interest now, although the destination has not yet been revealed at this stage.

There is little need for a third option for Mourinho to count on, even though he has been a dependable squad player since returning from Rayo Vallecano in 2023. It remains to be seen where Garcia ends up over the coming weeks, but one thing for certain is that his time as a Real Madrid player is at an end.
