Since Antonio Cordon He took over the sports management of Real Betis Balompié, things are going better for the Heliopolitans. With a classification for the next edition of the Europa League After dealing solely and exclusively with zero-cost signings, the Andalusians face a difficult transfer market where reinforcements will continue to be produced in the form of free agents and the level of the squad must grow, never decrease.
The defensive backbone of the team is practically assured: the arrivals of Juan Miranda and Youssouf Sabaly advance the task on both sides, both right-handed and left-handed, the arrival of Rui Silva certifies the presence of two great goalkeepers (together with Claudio Bravo) under the sticks of Benito Villamarín. And now, the focus is clearly closed on one position: that of the central defender. Therefore, according to Sports world, Antonio Cordón has presented to the board a ‘short list’ of defenders to definitely opt for one.
On the other hand, to this day, it has transcended the names of Balbuena and Luiz Felipe In this short list of options that the Betic team has to alleviate the absence of Aïssa Mandi, who is now officially a new Villarreal player. However, from Fichajes.net, we have had access to the name of this third center, which is already known by the Verdiblanca parish.
1. Fabián Balbuena:
The Paraguayan center-back ended his contract with West Ham United and they have not extended their bond, so he has become a top-tier free agent for several major teams. You are free to negotiate with any club. In addition, Balbuena is an old acquaintance of Manuel Pellegrini, who directed him during his time at the West Ham United, and has conditions to be decisive in the first Spanish division.
2. Luiz Felipe:
The Brazilian, with an Italian passport, has a contract in force with the Lazial team until 2022 and a market value of 20 million euros, so it would not be a particularly cheap transfer. However, Betis will bid lower, since the defender has not had a good campaign. The reason the Brazilian central defender has not lived up to expectations this season has been an ankle operation that has kept him in dry dock for much of the season.
3. Mateo Musacchio:
The Argentine is highly valued for his professional career since with him Villarreal He left a very good mark on Spanish football years ago. The Verdiblancos are quite affected economically and the arrival of Musacchio to Benito Villamarín is uncovered as one of the best options to reinforce the rear.
