Betis spies on two Racing players

The Real Betis is following Yassir Zabiri and Jeanuël Belocian, two 21-year-old footballers on loan at Racing de Santander during the 2026/27 season. The verdiblanco sports management has sent scouts to evaluate both and has positive reports, with an eye towards possible moves in upcoming transfer markets, according to ElDesmarque.

Real Betis is watching Yassir Zabiri's goals

Zabiri has become one of the standout names of the league. The Moroccan forward has scored nine goals in 12 league matches, figures that place him among the top scorers of the competition and explain the interest from clubs such as FC Barcelona.

The striker belongs to Stade Rennes, which acquired him in February 2026 from Famalicão for around 10 million euros. The French club has loaned him to Racing until June 30, 2027, but retains his rights and a contract that runs until 2029.

His performance in Santander has increased his visibility. With nine goals, Zabiri has scored more than half of Racing's goals in the league, which totals 17 as noted in the tracking information published this week.

Betis values his ability to produce goals and his room for growth. The sports management considers him part of their monitoring of young players with potential for appreciation, although they have not yet translated that interest into an operation.

Jeanuël Belocian, an alternative for Betis' defense

The other name on the list is Belocian, a French center-back who belongs to Bayer Leverkusen. The defender arrived at Racing on loan until the end of the 2026/27 season, after also having been on loan at Wolfsburg.

Belocian's contract with the German club runs until June 30, 2029. Bayer confirmed that the loan aims for the player to gain minutes in LaLiga before returning to Germany, where the club still considers his sporting development.

In Santander, he has played eight official matches, according to data collected from ElDesmarque's information. His experience includes matches in the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and European competitions, despite still being only 21 years old.

Betis closely monitors his progress because he can offer an alternative for the center of defense. However, his contractual situation depends on Bayer, which retains control of his future and will have to assess his return once the loan is over.

A connection with Troy Parrott

There is another common point between the two footballers: both share a representation agency with Troy Parrott, the forward who joined Real Betis this past summer. This connection helps explain why their names are on the club’s radar, although it does not solely determine the outcome of any potential operations.

The calendar marks the next step: Zabiri and Belocian will finish their respective loans on June 30, 2027. From then on, Rennes and Bayer Leverkusen will have to decide their plans for each player, while Real Betis will be able to assess whether to turn their monitoring into an offensive for one of the two.
