Fran García once again appears on Real Betis' radar just as his future at the Santiago Bernabéu becomes complicated. The recent signing for Real Madrid, Marc Cucurella, changes the landscape of the left-back position, opening a door that Heliópolis is watching closely. The Verdiblanco club has been searching for a reliable solution for that flank for some time. Since Álex Moreno's departure, that spot has not found continuity or truly differential performance.
Fran García gaining options to leave Real Madrid
Real Madrid has strengthened its left-back position with a significant investment. Cucurella arrives to be a key player, further reducing Fran García's space in the white squad. The competition was already high. Between Mendy, Álvaro Carreras, and now Cucurella, the academy player sees how his minutes could be very limited during the upcoming season.
This scenario is of great interest to Real Betis. The Betis sports management believes that Fran García has potential, experience in LaLiga, and an ideal age to take on a leading role. At 26 years old, the full-back needs consistent playing time. He has not managed to establish himself at Real Madrid, but his energy, depth, and ability to cover the flank are still in demand.
Betis believes it can offer him a more stable environment. Manuel Pellegrini needs a reliable player for a position that has raised doubts in recent seasons.
Real Betis also eyeing Gonzalo García
Real Betis' plan is not limited to Fran García. Gonzalo García, another player associated with Real Madrid, also catches the eye in Heliópolis due to his market situation.
The forward has had notable performances and is sought after, though his price complicates any attempt. Real Madrid is unwilling to undersell a young attacker with goal-scoring ability and room for growth. Nevertheless, Real Betis is vigilant. The need for the white club to raise funds could lead to unforeseen scenarios, especially if further signings are made.
An operation for Gonzalo García seems more complex than for Fran García. The forward has greater economic potential, and Real Madrid could demand a very high fee for his departure. Therefore, Betis is proceeding cautiously. The priority is to enhance the squad without overly burdening the wage bill or entering into impossible deals.

LaLiga could be key to convincing both
The appeal of staying in LaLiga works in favor of Real Betis. Both Fran García and Gonzalo García would have the opportunity to remain in Spain, compete in a familiar environment, and gain prominence. For Fran García, the Verdiblanco option is particularly logical. Betis needs a left-back, and the player requires playing time after losing weight in Real Madrid.
The departure of Ricardo Rodríguez and the inconsistent return of Junior Firpo have left a clear impression. The club needs more security, more legs, and more consistency in that position. In Gonzalo García's case, it will depend on the price and terms. Either a loan with an option or a creative deal could bridge gaps, although Real Madrid starts from a strong position. The summer will be long, and Betis does not want to rush. First, exits must be finalized to make room for pursuing important targets.
One thing seems clear: Fran García fits into Betis' plan. Real Madrid needs to sell after signing Cucurella, Real Betis aims to seize the opportunity, and Gonzalo García remains an ambitious desire.
