Pablo García, a 20-year-old forward from Racing de Santander, scored in his first start just a few days after being transferred from Real Betis in this transfer window. The green-and-white club retains 50% of his rights, according to the published figures on the transaction, in addition to a right of first refusal, so his performance in LaLiga could have a direct economic impact on Heliópolis.

The forward started against Rayo Vallecano and scored the 2-0 provisional goal in the 28th minute, although Racing ended up losing 3-2 at Butarque. García played the full 90 minutes in his first start under José Alberto.

Pablo García responds with a goal after leaving Real Betis

His debut as a starter came just a few days after his departure. Real Betis and Racing finalized the transfer at the end of the window, with a contract for the player until 2030 and a structure that allows the Seville club to financially benefit from a future sale.

García began the game on the right flank of the attack, alongside Sergio Canales and Íñigo Vicente. After Canales' first goal, he took advantage of a mistake by Unai López to score from outside the box before the half-hour mark.

José Alberto kept the winger on the field throughout the match despite the score turning around. Racing went 0-2 up, but Rayo came back with two goals from Sergio Camello and another from Andrei Ratiu.

Real Betis retains 50% and a right of first refusal

The deal leaves Betis a way to generate more income in the future, with reports placing Racing's payment at around 5-5.5 million euros for 50% of the transfer, although Cantabrian sports director, Chema Aragón, stated that the actual figure is lower than reported.

The green-and-white club has confirmed it retains a percentage of a future sale and a right of first refusal. This structure allows Betis to benefit if García's value increases during his time in Santander or if he receives an offer from another team.

The arrangement also reflects the club's confidence in his progression. Ángel Haro explained this week that Betis continues to believe in the player, which is why they decided to retain part of his economic rights. García joined the Betis academy as a pre-benjamin and left the first team after playing 33 games and scoring three goals.

His departure had also attracted interest before Racing emerged. Hull City negotiated in August for the forward and proposed a deal around 5 million fixed for a share of his rights, but the agreement was not finalized.

The next step for Pablo García will be to solidify the position José Alberto has entrusted him with at the beginning of this stage. Each match he plays in LaLiga will also be closely monitored by Real Betis, as a potential future sale of the player could generate additional income for the club due to the retained percentage.
