La Liga
Real Betis Balompié is in advanced negotiations to finalize the signing of Natan, a Brazilian central defender who currently plays for Napoli. The green and white club has taken the lead in the competition to secure the services of the young defender, who seems inclined to join the Seville team. The discussions between both parties have been fruitful, and the agreement could be realized through a loan with a purchase option, although it is still to be defined whether this will be mandatory.
Natan, who does not have the support of Antonio Conte at Napoli, could see in Betis the perfect opportunity to revitalize his career. Despite playing 21 matches last season for the Neapolitan club, the Brazilian has not managed to establish himself as a key player in Conte's scheme. This situation has led Betis to act swiftly to secure a player who, at 22 years old, has a great potential for growth.
Betis Works on Signing Natan
The defender joined Napoli in 2023 from Red Bull Bragantino in Brazil, in a transfer valued at 10 million euros. At Betis, Natan would be expected to fill the void left by Germán Pezzella, who recently returned to River Plate. Furthermore, his arrival would add competition in the center of defense, where Diego Llorente and Marc Bartra are currently the main candidates for a starting position.
Betis, who continues to strengthen their squad to face the demands of the upcoming season, could find in Natan a key element to reinforce their defensive line. His potential addition would not only bring youth and freshness but also the experience gained in European football, something invaluable in the competitive environment of LaLiga.
