According to Sky Germany’s Patrick Berger, Dortmund have reportedly set their sights on Real Madrid’s Fran Garcia, as well as fellow Spaniard Sergio Reguilon, who is currently on loan at Manchester United from Tottenham Hotspur.
#BVB schaut sich nach Linksverteidigern um – neben Fran Garcia ist auch Sergio Reguilón auf der Liste. Dortmund hat sich bereits nach ihm erkundigt. Der 26j Spanier ist zurzeit noch von Tottenham an ManUnited verliehen, kann die Leihe aber per Klausel abbrechen. ⚫️🟡 @SkySportDE

Garcia joined Real Madrid during the summer, but he has struggled since returning to the club after a three-year stay with Rayo Vallecano. Poor performances have been him largely operate as a bench player, with Ferland Mendy having been selected as first-choice left-back by Carlo Ancelotti in recent weeks.
Despite this, Real Madrid are unlikely to sell Garcia for the time being, and especially not on the cheap. He is considered to be an excellent backup, and it would be in this role that he would operate again next season, when Alphonso Davies is expected to arrive from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2024.
