Real Betis is very close to finalizing the signing of Cucho Hernández, the forward from Columbus Crew, in a move that would strengthen their offense for the second half of the season, according to The Athletic. Negotiations between the two clubs have progressed significantly and, barring any last-minute setbacks, the agreement could be finalized in the coming days. With the LaLiga transfer window closing in a few hours, the Verdiblanco club is looking to expedite the operation to add the Colombian attacker to their squad.

Hernández, who joined MLS in 2022 from Watford for 10 million dollars, has established himself as one of the standout figures in the American championship. His records with Columbus demonstrate his impact: 49 goals in over 70 matches, along with decisive performances that led to his call-up to the Colombian national team and finishing second in the voting for the 2024 MLS MVP, second only to Lionel Messi.

Cucho Hernández, on the verge of LaLiga

The potential departure of the 25-year-old striker comes as an unexpected blow to Crew, who saw him as a key piece in their long-term project under Wilfried Nancy's leadership. However, Betis' interest and the opportunity to play in one of the top European leagues could tilt the balance in favor of the transfer.

The team managed by Manuel Pellegrini has already secured the loan of Brazilian Antony from Manchester United, and with Hernández on the horizon, they aim to further strengthen their attack to face both LaLiga and the UEFA Conference League. If the Colombian's arrival is confirmed, Betis would add a striker with a knack for scoring and international experience, crucial in their ambition to compete in the higher positions of the table.
