Real Madrid Clearout: Academy Left-Back Becomes Betis' Top Target, Bernabeu Sale Begins

With Real Madrid on the verge of signing Cucurella, Fran Garcia's playing time at the club is being squeezed, making a departure likely. Real Betis have reignited their pursuit of the left-back, with interest dating back three years to when the player was at Rayo Vallecano. Real Madrid exercised their buy-back clause in 2023, and his contract runs until June 2027. Betis urgently need reinforcements at left-back for next season, as Ricardo Rodriguez's contract has expired and Junior's performances have not met expectations. Fran Garcia has become a primary target, while Betis are also monitoring Real Madrid's Ceballos and Gonzalo Garcia, though the latter carries a high asking price.
