Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, aged 29, is eager to return to be a player for Real Betis and hopes that Fenerbahçe will lower its demands before the market closes. The Turkish club is asking for between 15 and 20 million euros, an amount that the Verdiblanca entity is not willing to pay.

Manuel Pellegrini has requested the player's return for the 2026-27 season, but the operation will only progress through a new loan or a transfer below the requested price. Betis is willing to wait until the last days of August to take advantage of Fenerbahçe's need to find him an exit.

Sofyan Amrabat accepts Real Betis' conditions

Amrabat has expressed his preference to return to Seville after playing on loan at Pellegrini's team last season. The midfielder prioritizes staying in LaLiga and will not accept any destination, even if Fenerbahçe receives higher offers from other markets.

According to information from Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, Sofyan Amrabat has reportedly reached an agreement with Real Betis on personal terms. The entity has not confirmed this pact, but the player has agreed to reduce his 6 million euros net annual earnings.

Salary is one of the main obstacles in the negotiation. During his previous loan, Betis assumed about 25% of his wages, around 1.5 million euros, while Fenerbahçe covered the remainder.

The Verdiblanco club cannot afford to pay the full salary now without compromising its financial limit. Therefore, any agreement will require a further reduction from the player or for the Turkish entity to contribute to payment if a loan agreement is reached again.

Fenerbahçe prepares to reduce its price

Fenerbahçe paid 12 million euros for Sofyan Amrabat by exercising the purchase obligation included in his loan from Fiorentina. Their initial intention was to recoup this investment and make a profit through a sale between 15 and 20 million euros.

The absence of offers close to those figures has changed the situation. The Istanbul club now understands that it will have to lower its valuation because both the club and the player see their sporting relationship as exhausted.

Saudi Arabian teams interested in Amrabat have also not met the asking price. Furthermore, the midfielder prefers to return to Betis rather than accept a proposal solely based on a salary increase.

Time is on Pellegrini's side. If Fenerbahçe does not find a buyer in the coming weeks, they will have to choose between accepting a lower offer, negotiating another loan, or keeping a player who has requested to leave in their squad.

The return depends on Betis' departures

Real Betis needs to generate income before completing the operation. The sports management is working on several departures to create wage space and to address both the arrival of a holding midfielder and a forward.

Pellegrini believes it's necessary to add another defensive midfielder despite having Facundo Bernal. Amrabat understands the system, the squad, and LaLiga's demands, giving him an advantage over other options.

The negotiation will not be resolved immediately. Betis will wait for Fenerbahçe to lower its demands and will consider a loan as the primary option. If there is financial leeway and the price falls below 10 million euros, the club will also contemplate the permanent transfer of Sofyan Amrabat.
