Fabrizio Romano confirms the upcoming sale of Real Betis

The departure of Sergi Altimira from Real Betis is getting closer to happening. According to the latest information from Fabrizio Romano, the Catalan midfielder has significant offers on the table, but he would have decisively leaned towards Sporting de Portugal, a club with which he would already have a deal in place, according to the latest Betis rumors.

The move represents a significant shift in the Verdiblanco market. RB Leipzig was also very interested in the player, but the Portuguese club seems to have taken the lead in the operation. Currently, Betis and Sporting are negotiating a transfer that could exceed 20 million euros, a very attractive figure for the Andalusian club's finances.

Sergi Altimira chooses Sporting de Portugal to leave Real Betis and rejects RB Leipzig

Sergi Altimira has been one of Betis' players who has attracted the most interest in the European market. His growth in Heliópolis has not gone unnoticed, and several major clubs have inquired about his situation. However, Sporting de Portugal has been the team that has persisted the most and has best convinced the player.

The Catalan midfielder sees the opportunity to play in Lisbon with good eyes. Sporting is a competitive club, with European presence, and a structure that usually develops young players very well. For Altimira, it would be an important opportunity to continue growing in a demanding environment but with room to establish himself as a key player.

RB Leipzig also appeared as an attractive option. The German club has a great reputation for developing talent and subsequently selling it at high prices. However, this time, it seems that Sporting has won the battle and left the German team behind.

In Real Betis, they are aware that Altimira's departure could become a very significant operation from an economic point of view. The transfer could exceed 20 million euros, an amount that would allow the Verdiblanco club to gain margin in the market and address other squad needs.

The Betis sports management did not want to part with the player at just any price. Altimira is a player with experience, good tactical awareness, and room for growth, so his sale should respond to a significant offer. Sporting's interest has raised the operation to figures that are becoming very appealing to Betis.

The Andalusian club needs to balance its books but also maintain a competitive team. Therefore, a sale of this magnitude could be crucial. With more than 20 million on the table, Betis would have the capacity to strengthen various positions and reorganize their midfield for the upcoming season.

Negotiations between both clubs are already underway, and the outlook is positive. There are still details to be finalized, but the agreement seems to be getting closer.

The potential departure of Sergi Altimira would also have sporting consequences. Manuel Pellegrini would lose a useful midfielder with the ability to provide balance, work, and judgment in the middle of the field. Although he has not always been the most high-profile name in the squad, his profile fits well in teams needing order and continuity in the game.

Altimira has gained value thanks to his seriousness on the field. He is not a player in the spotlight, but one of those who help sustain the team. His ability to interpret games, occupy spaces effectively, and provide fluidity to circulation has made him a player closely followed by European clubs.

Replacing him will not be easy for Betis. If his departure is confirmed, the club will have to turn to the market in search of a midfielder who can assume some of his functions. The good news is that a sale above 20 million would provide enough room to seek interesting alternatives.

The challenge will be in investing that money wisely. Betis cannot afford to lose key players without reinforcing the squad thoughtfully.

Sporting de Portugal is close to completing a very intelligent operation. Altimira is a player with present and future potential, ready to make a competitive leap and with characteristics that could fit well in Portuguese football. His arrival would strengthen a vital area of the field and give the Lisbon team more options in midfield.

Moreover, outshining RB Leipzig is no trivial matter. The German club usually handles these profiles very well, so taking the lead in the negotiation demonstrates the strength with which Sporting has entered the operation.

For Altimira, the move could also be very positive. He would arrive at an important club with ambition and the possibility of playing in European competitions. If he maintains his progression, Lisbon could become a valuable step in his career.

Meanwhile, Betis is preparing to bid farewell to a player who has garnered much interest in the market. The deal is not yet closed, but everything indicates that Sergi Altimira is getting closer to becoming a new player of Sporting de Portugal. A sale that may hurt in sports terms but would leave a substantial amount in Heliópolis.
