Real Betis has denied forcing academy player Pablo García to leave. Real Betis President Ángel Haro and sporting director Manu Fajardo held a press conference to explain in detail the departure of the academy player.

The image of Pablo García in tears as he left Real Betis's training ground on Monday evening was undoubtedly one of the most poignant scenes on the final day of Spain's transfer window. The academy player, who had spent 15 years at Real Betis, tearfully expressed his sadness at moving to Racing Santander—a deal that generated €5 million for Real Betis.

On Tuesday, Real Betis sporting director Manu Fajardo and president Ángel Haro held a press conference to explain the controversial departure to the media. Real Betis denied that Pablo García's departure was related to financial fair play requirements needed to register Ceballos, and stated that the academy player had repeatedly expressed his desire to leave the club and seek more playing time.

Ángel Haro stated: "Pablo's departure has nothing to do with Ceballos joining. Pablo holds a reserve team registration spot, so he would not be affected at all, and his salary is relatively low. The outside world has said he had to leave, but that is not true.

"I wish Pablo the best, but the claim that the club forced him to leave is completely untrue. For the past three weeks, he believed it was time for him to go, and he even used phrases like 'Please let me leave' or 'I won't get playing time here.' Saying that Real Betis forced him to leave is false; it is completely false."
