The Betis and Manuel Pellegrini they are already preparing a season in which the great objective is to participate in the Europa League. For this reason, the Spanish club aims high in the signings and now has a South American in its sights to prop up its defense.
It is about the Paraguayan Fabian Balbuena, who is the target to replace the loss of Bath, one of the headlines last season. The defender now ends his contract with West Ham United and the Chilean DT knows him perfectly, since it was he who took him to England.

The player’s agent, Renato Bittar, told Radio Unión FC800 about his plans for the future. “We are negotiating an extensive contract in Europe. His priority is Europe. We have offers almost every day for him, from many markets. We are going to see which way we are going. He gives a lot of importance to sports, “he said.
Of course, in Betis there is a certain fear of rushing with the election to replace Mandi. The central position became a priority after the departure of the Algerian and Pellegrini wants guarantees there. The Verdibuena club warned that Balbuena is not the only one on the wish list for that position, but it is an option that fits the profile sought and that would give the coach some satisfaction.
Balbuena is in the Paraguayan team to face the Copa América and its future could be decided before the end of this competition. With more candidates to take over his services, the figure of Pellegrini may again be key when Betis can convince the player.
