The Atletico team has had many goals at the Valencia club, but this player was just out of reach.
The Catalan team has been following this footballer for a long time, but their situation has changed
The Betis midfielder, who ruptured his Achilles tendon yesterday, bids farewell to the season, and Betis is already looking for his replacement, who will have to be a free agent.
If there are no significant departures in the winter transfer market, Carlo Ancelotti will have an even more competitive squad than this year.
The Dutch midfielder is still recovering from the injury that prevented him from participating in the European Championship, and the club is starting to get impatient.

The Betis player, who was key with his goal against Leganés yesterday, could have taken a different path last summer.
This is a case whose resolution will come out on October 4. The player had to pay a fine of 10 million euros. Now everything can change.
Arda Güler, Turkish footballer from Real Madrid, remains a very remote option in Carlo Ancelotti's game plans.
Johnny Cardoso, for many the most talented midfielder at Real Betis, is barely playing in the 24/25 season.
