A new alert has gone off in FC Barcelona's offices: the name of Pablo García, one of the greatest prospects in Spanish soccer. Now his name has started to gain traction both in the Catalan capital and in Valdebebas. The Real Betis footballer is considered one of the jewels of the verdiblanca youth academy, and his contract situation is causing a silent war among several giants of Spanish soccer.
With a contract until 2029, the young talent has attracted the interest of the country's two biggest clubs, Real Madrid has already keptthe first contacts with his camp. The white club would be willing to speed up his signing before his value skyrockets. Meanwhile, Betis wants to prevent his departure at all costs. From Benito Villamarín, they have already started moves to offer him a contract renewal with much improved terms.
The problem for the verdiblancos is that both Barça and Madrid see Pablo García as a unique market opportunity. He has talent, potential, and a very large margin for growth. In addition, he still hasn't signed an inaccessible release clause, which makes him an attractive target for the major powers that dominate LaLiga.
Deco goes after the signing
In FC Barcelona's case, the interest isn't new. The sporting management has been closely following his development for months. Deco and his team know the player's profile well and value his versatility in midfield. They consider him absolutely ideal for the new sporting project being built around young talents and a play style defined by possession and dynamism.
The problem for Barça, as in many other recent cases, is financial. The club's difficult financial situation limits its moves and forces it to prioritize operations. However, the possibility of losing Pablo García to Real Madrid is starting to create internal tension. The club knows that if it doesn't act soon, it could miss out on one of the most desired gems of the national youth system.
Fati helps him
Meanwhile, the footballer's camp isn't closing any doors. They are aware of the interest he is generating and want to consider all options before making a final decision. There's no rush, but there is a clear desire to choose the best sporting and developmental project for his career. In Heliopolis, the message is clear: they want him to stay. Pablo García is a strategic asset for the club's future and he has already been told that he will be important.
Betis is offering him prominence and continuity, something that's not so easy to guarantee at a giant like Barça or Madrid. But the young talent is also ambitious. His camp believes that he is ready to make the leap to a highly demanding stage. That's where Barça has an opportunity. If it knows how to play its cards right, the Catalan club hasn't made an official move yet, but it could do so soon.
