Real Madrid full-back Fran García took part in individual training this past Saturday, separating himself from the first-team squad following the collapse of a late transfer window move.
“Did Not Feel Ready”: García’s Reaction to Madrid’s Transfer U-Turn
The Spanish defender had anticipated a loan departure to gain more playing time.
The 26-year-old was on the verge of joining Premier League side Bournemouth last week, with the deal considered a formality.
However, Real Madrid’s leadership ultimately vetoed the transfer at the last moment, a decision which left García deeply disappointed.
According to reports, this disappointment directly led to his training request. After participating in only the initial fifteen minutes of the group session, García asked to complete his workout alone.
The club’s staff granted this request, putting him through an individualized training regimen away from his teammates.
The situation highlights García’s frustration with his limited role at the Bernabéu.
His request for solitary training underscores the personal impact of the collapsed move, which he viewed as a critical chance for regular first-team football.
For now, Real Madrid management has retained him as defensive cover, leaving the player to recalibrate after a window of significant uncertainty.
García now faces the challenge of reintegrating into the squad despite his evident dissatisfaction.
