Real Betis are expected to be busy this month, and having already completed the sales of Assane Diao and Rui Silva, their first signing is edging closer, with that being for Levante defender Andres Garcia.
In the coming days, Real Betis will finalise the sale of Rui Silva, who will join Sporting CP on loan with an obligation to buy in the summer. Understandably, there has been talk that he will be replaced by Alvaro Valles, who will almost certainly be returning to Los Verdiblancos at some stage in 2025.
Real Betis have already closed one significant departures this month in the €12m sale of Assane Diao to Como, and another could come soon as club officials prepare for further approaches to sign starting goalkeeper Rui Silva.
The Alvaro Valles transfer saga ran on throughout the summer, but in the end, it did not have a happy ending for all parties concerned. Las Palmas tried, and failed, to sell him, while the 27-year-old’s dreams of returning to Real Betis were ultimately dashed.
The Alvaro Valles transfer saga has been rumbling on throughout the summer, and with less than a week to go until summer window closes, he is still no closer to joining Real Betis.
Las Palmas will be tearing their hair out with the Alvaro Valles situation. Last week, they agreed a €10m deal with Marseille to sell the wantaway goalkeeper, who was outstanding in La Liga last season.
With Rui Silva having been strongly linked with a move to his homeland of Portugal, Real Betis have been considering their options for a new first-choice goalkeeper.
One of the areas that Real Betis are aiming to address this summer is in goals. Last season’s backup, Claudio Bravo, has already left, while there are serious doubts over the future of Rui Silva.
Real Betis are set to overhaul their goalkeeping department this summer. Claudio Bravo has already departed, while there is also speculation linking current number one Rui Silva with a return to Portugal.
Real Betis are expected to be in the market for a new goalkeeper in the summer. Claudio Bravo is on course to leave, while Rui Silva has flattered to deceive at times, which has caused Manuel Pellegrini to regularly rotate his ‘keepers.
