Fran García, a full-back from La Mancha, has officially joined Real Betis's preseason training camp in Germany after completing his transfer from Real Madrid. He arrived yesterday accompanied by sporting director Manu Fajardo and CEO Ramón Alarcón, and participated in his first training session under coach Manuel Pellegrini this morning. The session included physical preparation and ball work, allowing García to connect with his new teammates. Fajardo also updated Pellegrini on ongoing market moves and spoke with players, including captain Isco Alarcón, who is recovering from injuries. Betis will remain in Germany until July 18, playing their first friendly, then continue preseason in Spain, Marbella, and Ireland, where they face Premier League champions Arsenal.

Fran García is now fully integrated into the daily routine of the Betis squad. The full-back from La Mancha, having completed all formalities for his transfer to the green-and-white club, traveled yesterday to the team's training camp in Germany, accompanied by sporting director Manu Fajardo and CEO Ramón Alarcón, to begin his new chapter. This morning, he trained under Pellegrini's orders for the first time.

The former Real Madrid player participated normally in the morning session, which included both a physical preparation segment and a ball-work segment on the pitch. Fran took his first steps as a Betis player and began building connections with his new teammates, whom he had already greeted upon his arrival in Seville on Wednesday, before the team departed for their first preseason camp.

Manu Fajardo used the visit to Germany to update Pellegrini on the club's ongoing market moves—both incoming and outgoing—and to greet the squad. Official media images showed him chatting with several coaching staff members, frequently checking his phone, and showing affection for captain Isco Alarcón, whom the team is supporting in his recovery after an injury-marred last season.

Betis will continue training in Germany for another week, until Saturday, July 18, when they play their first preseason friendly before returning to Spain. The second phase will include sessions at the Ciudad Deportiva Luis del Sol and additional friendlies, followed by a camp in Marbella—a regular venue since Pellegrini's arrival—and a third camp in Ireland, where a preparation match is planned against Premier League champions Arsenal.
