The market continues with strategic movements in London, where Chelsea leads the interest in Natan, the solid central defender of Real Betis.

The Blues' board has intensified their tracking of the 24-year-old Brazilian defender, who has become a defensive revelation in LaLiga this season. After landing in Seville in July 2025, the player has shown a maturity beyond his years, accumulating five key assists in the domestic league.

His performance has sparked the interest of giants like Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Newcastle, setting up a fierce battle for his current valuation. The Andalusian team, which secured his permanent acquisition for just 9 million euros, now sees his value soaring on the international stage.

Chelsea's ambitious transfer plan for 2026

Reports from British scouts highlight the anticipation and ball distribution skills possessed by the talented Betis defender.

Currently, the defender's market value stands at 20 million euros, although his release price is much higher. The offices at Stamford Bridge are preparing a substantial financial offensive to convince both the Spanish club and the player's own environment.

Chelsea is aware of the fierce competition, especially with the clear interest from Real Madrid looking to revamp their central defensive line. However, the London club is confident in its financial strength to present an offer around 40 million euros during this period.

Natan and the dilemma between the Premier League or continuity in Spain

Despite English interest, the Brazilian center-back has hinted to his inner circle that his absolute priority is to stay in Spain. This preference puts the Whites in an emotionally advantageous position, forcing English executives to make an extra effort in persuasion.

The defender's current contract extends until 2030, giving Real Betis a position of absolute strength in any negotiation. Within the Heliópolis team, it is recalled that the initially set price was around 45 million euros after his brilliant summer breakthrough.

Chelsea must be extremely persuasive if they wish to change the Sevillian climate for the physical intensity of the English competition.

The projection of the Brazilian defender in the European market

Data does not lie and positions the defender as one of the most profitable assets in European football in the last semester of competition.

His ability to assist from the backline is a quality that few central defenders in the world can offer with such consistency. This explains why Chelsea has decided to monitor each of his steps during the final months of the current league campaign.

The player's versatility and physicality fit perfectly into the fast-paced playing style sought to be established in the British capital. He is a coveted chess piece that could shift the balance of power in the upper positions of the standings.

Chelsea aims to close the deal before the player's value continues to rise as the current football season draws to a close. Preliminary talks suggest that Betis will not facilitate the departure of their stalwart without a sum that does justice to his potential.

Meanwhile, the young Brazilian remains focused on his daily performance, oblivious to the media buzz generated by the big European football giants. The final decision will depend on the ability to convince a player who values his adaptation to life in Spain above all else.

In London, they hope that a solid sports project and competitive salary will tip the scales in favor of the Lions' team. The game is on, and moves will unfold in the coming weeks, with the football world watching every detail of the operation.

Chelsea does not want to miss out on one of the defenders with the highest growth potential in the current international transfer market. Only time will tell if Natan's fate lies at the Bridge or if the desire to wear white will ultimately prevail.

Real Betis, on the other hand, eagerly anticipates an operation that promises to be historic for the Benito Villamarín stadium's coffers. With the January market in full swing, the Brazilian's name will undoubtedly be the headline in global sports news.
