Dion Lopy is emerging as one of the protagonists of the summer transfer market after a season in which his team, Almería, did not achieve the promotion goal. The Senegalese midfielder has sparked the interest of Real Betis, which is seeking alternatives in the midfield following the imminent departure of Johnny Cardoso. The verdiblanco club sees the young midfielder as a piece capable of reinforcing the team's balance, especially in an area of the field that could soon lose one of its key players.

Strong disparities between the two teams

Cardoso's move to Atlético de Madrid is practically sealed, and several names have been activated in the Benito Villamarín offices to fill his place. Lopy, 23 years old, fits the physical and tactical profile that pleases the coaching staff, although the main obstacle is the financial aspect. While Betis aims to close the deal for a figure close to eight million euros, Almería remains steadfast in its demand not to let him go for less than 18.

The Almería team believes that the market value of the Senegalese player could increase in the coming years and is not willing to undersell one of its most promising assets. Therefore, if the verdiblancos wish to secure his transfer, they will have to significantly improve their proposal. The prospect of including variables or even a player to reduce the cost is being considered in Heliópolis, but significant progress has not been made so far.

Lopy, on the other hand, would view moving to a team with greater competitive aspirations favorably. While his priority is to continue growing individually, he is not in a rush to change teams if the conditions do not benefit him. Betis continues to work, but the negotiation will not be straightforward.
