Troy Parrott, a 24-year-old forward for AZ Alkmaar, is in advanced negotiations to become the new signing for Real Betis in this summer transfer window. The Dutch club aims to surpass 20 million euros, while the Verdiblanco team is trying to bring the deal closer to the 15 million euros it had budgeted to strengthen its attack.

The deal gained momentum after Parrott prioritized the opportunity to debut in LaLiga over a transfer to West Ham, which was also competing for his signature. The English side had made an offer that didn't satisfy AZ, and now they are exploring other alternatives for their forward line.

Troy Parrott and Real Betis Negotiating Transfer Conditions

The main point to resolve is the price for Troy Parrott. AZ Alkmaar is pushing for a permanent transfer above 20 million euros, while Real Betis aims to keep the initial investment lower, working with a figure close to 15 million euros for the forward.

One of the options being considered includes adding variables to reduce the fixed payment. Betis is also contemplating a loan with an option to buy or an obligation linked to specific objectives, although AZ's priority remains a permanent sale.

Parrott is under contract with the Dutch club until June 30, 2029, with a market value of 22 million euros. He joined AZ from Tottenham in 2024, and the London club retains a percentage of any future sale.

His stats explain Betis' interest. The forward ended the 2025/26 season with 31 goals and 12 assists in 48 appearances across all competitions. In the Eredivisie, he scored 16 goals in 28 games, a performance that raised his value over the past season. The Verdiblancos have been tracking the Irish forward since January and tried to sign him in April.

Parrott's Salary Facilitates LaLiga Adaptation

Another advantage for Troy Parrott is his salary cost. The Irish international earns less than a million euros per season in the Netherlands, an amount lower than other alternatives being considered by Real Betis' sporting management.

Among them is Fábio Silva, for whom Betis has also made moves in this transfer window. The club has not limited its search to Parrott and is still pursuing other negotiations before making a final decision on the striker to complete their squad.

The financial aspect is crucial for his registration in LaLiga. In addition to the salary, Betis must account for the annual amortization of the transfer within their squad cost limit, hence the search for a structure that reduces the immediate impact of the deal.

The summer revenues from Nobel Mendy, along with variables from the deals involving Assane Diao and Jesús Rodríguez, increase the margin available to secure the forward's signing.

The next step will be bridging the financial positions with AZ Alkmaar. Betis aims to finalize the selection of their new striker before the final stretch of the transfer window to retain flexibility for other operations, while Troy Parrott maintains his priority of playing in Spain and discussions are ongoing.
