DefensaCentral: Milan could purchase Garcia for less than €20m due to Madrid signing

Reports this morning suggested that AC Milan could look to purchase Fran Garcia from Real Madrid, and his price has been revealed.

There is a lot to weigh up for Milan this summer. New defenders are needed, whilst another two additions are also seemingly requested, including a new striker. In other words, the Rossoneri have to be calculated with their investments.

However, they cannot do things on the cheap. Balance is required, and misaligned investments will create larger issues than is currently present. So, scrutiny over payments is certainly required, and today, they have learned the price of a new target.

Affordable option

Real Madrid outlet Defensa Central have relayed information that the Diavolo are looking at Garcia, the 25-year-old left back playing for the Galacticos. Though, their report also suggests he could leave with little clarity in place with his situation.

Thanks to the signing of Alvaro Carreras, the full-back could move to the third option under Xabi Alonso. So, he could leave, to free up funds and seek more game time.

Should this be the case, he would not be too outrageous for Milan to consider. The report states that he is valued around the €18 million mark, whilst a salary of only €2.5m per year is not outrageous. Something which would not be a ‘major obstacle’.
