Fran García, a 27-year-old left-back, has confirmed that he asked Real Madrid to leave during the last summer transfer market to join Real Betis. The Andalusian team paid 4 million euros for 50% of his rights and signed him until June 30, 2030.

The decision came after three seasons in the first team of the white club. According to EstadioDeportivo, Fran García understood that his playing opportunities could diminish following the movements made by Madrid in the left-back position and directly expressed his desire to explore an exit.

Fran García asked Real Madrid for permission to leave

The fullback has now explained that the competition was decisive. After having a variable role during his three seasons in the first team, the squad configuration for the 2026/27 season led him to seek a destination where he could have more prominence.

García pointed out the investments made by Real Madrid in his position to justify his decision. With several players competing for the same minutes, he informed the club of his desire to explore the alternatives available during the transfer market.

One of them was Real Betis. Discussions progressed to reach an agreement for 4 million euros, with which the verdiblanco team acquired 50% of the pass. Madrid retains the other 50%, maintaining a direct financial interest in any future sale.

Fran García signed a four-year contract until June 2030. The move marked the end of his second spell as a Madridista after returning in 2023 from Rayo Vallecano.

110 games and five titles before returning to LaLiga with Betis

Fran García concluded his time in Madrid's first team with 110 official matches over three seasons, as reported by the club itself. During this period, he won five titles: a Champions League, a La Liga, a Club World Cup, a UEFA Super Cup, and a Spanish Super Cup.

His connection with the club started much earlier. He joined the academy in 2013 at 14 years old, later went through Castilla, and left the club to play for Rayo Vallecano before coming back to Santiago Bernabéu a decade after his introduction to the youth teams.

The departure was not driven by a falling-out between the parties. The player explained that he wished to compete more regularly, and Madrid eventually accepted an arrangement that allows them to retain half of his financial rights. García also received proposals from abroad before choosing Betis.

Immediate Performance at Betis

His adaptation to LaLiga with the verdiblanco team has been immediate. In his initial matches, he already provided an assist that secured Betis' victory against Valencia, while earning a spot in the team's plans.

The contract until 2030 positions Betis as Fran García's long-term project, but the 50% still held by Real Madrid maintains a financial consequence for the future: if the fullback is sold again, the white club will participate in the proceeds generated from that operation.
