The sports management of the Real Betis continues to search for a central to supply the march of Aissa Mandi to the Villarreal. Paraguayan option Fabian Balbuena has vanished after not accepting the green-and-white club the high claims of the former West Ham, which ended up signing for him Dynamo Moscow.
Real Betis has more alternatives on the table, although their financial limitations complicate all of them due to the high cache that the intended players have, cases of Daniele Rugani (Juventus), Luiz Felipe (Lazio) or the Serbian Nikola Maksimovic, that just this June 30 has ended his contract with Napoli and has on the table an offer to renew that he has not accepted for the moment, so he is free to sign for another club at zero cost.
In the cases of Rugani and Luiz Felipe, Betis intends to achieve a transfer with a purchase option, but the clubs that own their passes (Juventus and Lazio, respectively) want to negotiate a transfer, so there is currently no possibility of an agreement.
Maksimovic, who already has the letter of freedom in his possession, also handles offers from other teams, among them the Londoners of Crystal Palace and West Ham, against whom Real Betis will hardly be able to compete in the economic section to obtain the services of this veteran (29 years) and valued defender.
