The \u20ac5.5 million tagged to half of Pablo Garc\u00eda\u2019s rights framed his late Real Betis<\/a> exit, yet neither Betis nor Racing mentioned it. On 2 September, Racing sporting director Chema Arag\u00f3n made clear their outlay does not match that number.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to La Colina De Nervion, Betis finalised a permanent transfer, keeping a percentage of any future sale plus a matching option. Racing have taken the striker on a contract to June 2030.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n That \u20ac5.5 million surfaced during the window\u2019s finale and became the reference point. Arag\u00f3n\u2019s stance now separates it from what the clubs have actually confirmed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He outlined a late pivot in the plan. An arrangement with Arsenal appeared close with Racing envisaged as a loan home, then deadline day turned it into a shared-ownership purchase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n On the finances he was unequivocal, the fee being paid is different, and he declined to disclose it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Born in Seville on 13 June 2006, Garc\u00eda rose through Betis\u2019 ranks and scored in every club category. He made his LaLiga<\/a> debut in January 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n On 25 August 2026 at Mestalla he came on and struck the opener against Valencia within four minutes, his first LaLiga<\/a> goal. Days later his move to Santander was completed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Betis list 33 senior appearances and three goals. Racing break that down as 21 in LaLiga<\/a>, six in Europa League, two in Conference League and four in Copa del Rey, plus 38 games and 12 goals for Betis B. He has represented Spain from under-16 to under-21.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
