Fran García already knows how much it will cost to take him out of Real Madrid

Fran García emerges as one of the players from  Real Madrid with more chances of leaving after the arrival of Marc Cucurella. The left-back, with a contract until 2027, is in demand, and the white club has already set an asking price close to 20-25 million euros.

The move is understood due to the surplus of players in the squad that José Mourinho will inherit at the beginning of the preseason. With 29 footballers on the payroll and only 25 spots allowed by LaLiga, Real Madrid needs to finalize several departures as soon as possible.

Fran García joins the list of departures from Real Madrid

The case of Fran García is one of the most logical within the white team's planning. The signing of Marc Cucurella, the presence of Álvaro Carreras, and the continuity of Ferland Mendy have left the left-back position overcrowded.

The Spaniard managed to gain minutes towards the end of the season, but he is not considered a priority in the new scenario. Cucurella arrives with a starting role expectation, Carreras is viewed as a natural alternative, and Mendy's playing time remains limited due to his physical condition, despite his defensive performance.

Therefore, Real Madrid has started to make a move. According to information from El Chiringuito, there has already been an initial contact with Betis, although the figures proposed by the white club exceed what the Verdiblanco entity can currently afford.

Betis considers Fran García but requests a reduction

Betis' interest makes sense from a sporting perspective. Fran García would fit as a fullback with stamina to attack, width on the flanks, and sufficient LaLiga experience. Additionally, his age and familiarity with the league make him an appealing option.

The issue lies in the price tag. The 20-25 million requested by Madrid complicates any direct agreement. In Heliópolis, they understand that the player could be sold, considering he only has one more year on his contract and the pressure to reduce the squad size could work in the buyer's favor.

A deal with 50% of the rights

One possible solution to unlock the deal could be an intermediary arrangement. Real Madrid could accept a lower amount if they retain 50% of Fran García's rights, a strategy they have previously utilized with other players to maintain future control.

To progress, the player would also need to make a salary compromise. Betis may not compete with the Bernabéu's financial terms but can offer playing time, continuity, and a more stable role within a European project.

The operation would align with an organized departure, without conflict and benefiting all parties. Madrid would free up a spot, Betis would strengthen a critical position, and the fullback would find a more conducive environment to play regularly.

José Mourinho accelerates squad clearance

The arrival of José Mourinho has altered the planning pace. The Portuguese coach aims for a shorter, competitive, and manageable squad without excessive players in duplicate positions. Thus, departures are as crucial as acquisitions.

The name of Fran García is not the only one on the table. Dani Ceballos, Gonzalo García, and other marketable profiles are also under discussion. Real Madrid's priority is to reduce the wage bill, adjust registrations, and avoid starting the preseason with too many uncertainties.

The left-back situation could be one of the first to be resolved if Betis and Madrid can find common ground. Currently, the parties stand apart, but the circumstances push for negotiation. Fran García is aware that his position at Real Madrid has narrowed and that a departure could be the best way to regain prominence.
