Sofyan Amrabat, a 29-year-old Moroccan midfielder, continues to be an option to return as a player for Real Betis after returning to Fenerbahçe following his loan spell in LaLiga. The Betis club keeps the possibility open, but demands that he terminate his contract with the Turkish club, valid until 2028, and accept a significant reduction in his salary.

Currently, this operation is not a priority for the sports management led by Manu Fajardo. Betis is focusing its efforts first on incorporating a center forward, and only afterwards will they decide if they have enough salary margin to try to recover Amrabat.

Sofyan Amrabat must settle his contract with Fenerbahçe

The first obstacle is in Turkey. Sofyan Amrabat returned to Fenerbahçe once his loan spell in Seville ended and still has two seasons left on his contract, until June 2028. For his return to progress, Betis envisions the scenario where the player manages to disassociate himself from the Turkish club.

The second condition is financial. Amrabat's current salary exceeds the margin that Real Betis can currently assume within its salary cap, so he would have to accept a reduction to be able to be re-registered in LaLiga.

These two circumstances explain why the operation remains shelved and not ruled out. The coaching staff knows the player from his last loaned season and believes he can provide an alternative for the midfield in a season where Betis will also compete in the Champions League.

His time as a Verdiblanco was conditioned by various physical problems that limited his continuity. Nevertheless, the club keeps his name among the options to strengthen a midfield where they have already signed Facundo Bernal during this transfer window.

Real Betis prioritizes signing a striker

Before considering an operation for Sofyan Amrabat, the sports management aims to recruit a center forward. Manu Fajardo is working with a list of candidates agreed upon with Manuel Pellegrini and hopes that market conditions will allow progress with one of the selected targets. Additionally, it is worth noting that Villarreal had also shown interest in Amrabat.

Betis has already reinforced other positions with Facundo Bernal for the midfield, Fran García for the left-back, and Diego Conde for the goal. Now, finding a striker is at the top of the planning list before considering another investment in the midfield.

Amrabat is not the sole alternative. Dani Ceballos, already released from Real Madrid, is also under consideration. In his case, the same condition applies: the club needs to free up salary space through departures before being able to make another signing.

Players like Iker Losada or Gonzalo Petit are still waiting to decide their future, while Nelson Deossa's situation has changed during pre-season due to his intention to stay in the squad and the minutes he has been getting under Pellegrini.

The next move will depend on three factors: securing the striker first, creating salary space, and knowing if the Moroccan can detach from Fenerbahçe. If these conditions are met before the transfer window closes, Sofyan Amrabat will still have a chance to return to Betis for another season in LaLiga.
