Fran García Completes Permanent Move to Real Betis from Real Madrid

Real Betis have completed the signing of Spanish left-back Fran García from Real Madrid in a deal worth €4 million, marking the end of his second spell at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that all documents have been signed, with Real Madrid retaining a 50% sell-on clause as part of the agreement. The clause ensures Los Blancos could benefit financially should Betis sell García in the future.

The 26-year-old returned to Real Madrid from Rayo Vallecano in 2023 but struggled to establish himself as a regular starter. Increased competition at left-back limited his opportunities, making a permanent move the best option for both player and club.

For Real Betis, García's arrival strengthens a key area of the squad with an experienced La Liga defender who is familiar with the demands of Spanish football. The move also offers the defender the chance to revive his career with consistent first-team football.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, continue reshaping their squad while protecting their long-term interests through the inclusion of the sizeable sell-on clause.
