Real Betis has seen one of its options to strengthen the forward line in this winter transfer window slip away. Andrea Belotti, who was once on the radar of the Verdiblanco team, has ultimately chosen to accept Benfica's proposal.

A year ago, the Seville club unsuccessfully tried to convince the Italian striker to join Benito Villamarín. However, the former Roma player preferred to continue his career in Italy, signing on loan with Fiorentina. His current situation has changed completely, as his time at Como did not go as expected, and he is now looking to revive his career in a new destination.

Benfica Beats Betis to the Punch

According to A Bola, Benfica has outpaced the Betis team in the race for the experienced forward. The Lisbon club already has the player's approval and has proposed a loan deal with a purchase option, an operation that fits their plans.

Meanwhile, Betis continues to explore the market for alternatives, but time is running out. The uncertainty surrounding Belotti persisted due to the indecision of Cesc Fábregas, Como's coach, who was still considering whether to let him go. However, the striker has made a clear decision and will wear Benfica's shirt in this second half of the season.
