After Losing Emerson, Betis Sets Sights on a Fullback from the League

Real Betis has reactivated its interest in Pablo Maffeo after seeing the option to bring back Emerson Royal escape, as he ultimately chose to return to Brazil to join Flamengo. The Brazilian full-back, who had planned on returning to Heliópolis, was patient for several weeks, but the lack of urgency from the verdiblanco club to finalize his signing led him to accept the proposal from the carioca team.

Even though Besiktas had practically everything agreed with Milan and had even scheduled the medical examination, Flamengo emerged strongly at the last moment and signed the player for nine million euros. This unexpected turn of events has forced Betis to look at other options, with Pablo Maffeo being the preferred choice at the moment, as reported by EstadioDeportivo.

Mallorca Listens to Offers, but Won't Accept Just Any

The Mallorca full-back has previously been linked with Betis in past transfer windows, and his name is once again being strongly linked. The sports management of the Andalusian club sees him as a reliable alternative, but it won't be an easy operation. The bermellón club has made it clear that they will not consider offers below eight million euros, a high but manageable figure if other moves within the squad are adjusted.

Maffeo, on his part, has shown in the past his willingness to take the next step, so Betis is confident that this could be the defining moment to secure his signing and strengthen the right flank.
