Real Betis has shown interest in Morten Frendrup, the 25-year-old Danish midfielder from Genoa, as one of the options to strengthen their midfield. The name of the Nordic international appears within the Real Betis transfer market in this final stretch of summer.

Frendrup is under contract with the Italian team until June 2028, so any movement would require Betis to negotiate directly with Genoa. His contractual situation gives room for the Serie A club to set their conditions before accepting a possible departure.

Real Betis Sets Its Sights on Morten Frendrup

Morten Frendrup had another impactful season with Genoa. The midfielder played 36 Serie A matches, starting in 35, accumulating 3,081 minutes, making him one of the most utilized players in the team.

His offensive contribution was limited, ending the season with one goal and no assists, reflecting his usual role more focused on balance and work in the midfield.

Frendrup can play as a central midfielder and pivot. This versatility in different interior positions is one of the reasons Real Betis has started to assess his situation in the final weeks of the transfer market.

The Dane is not a newcomer to Serie A. He has already played 155 league games with Genoa and accumulated over 12,900 minutes with the Italian club since joining from Brøndby.

Genoa Has the Player Tied Until 2028

Genoa renewed Frendrup's contract in February 2024, extending it until 2028. By that time, he had already played 77 games, scored three goals, and provided five assists for the Italian club.

This contract conditions any potential operation. Betis cannot view the move as an opportunity due to an expiring bond and would need to reach an economic agreement with Genoa.

Moreover, the player continues to hold a stable position in the squad. Last season, he participated in 90.1% of the available minutes in Serie A, only behind Johan Vásquez in terms of continuity for Genoa players.

Betis Must Decide Whether to Pursue Frendrup

The interest comes at a time when Betis is fine-tuning its squad and considering moves for the midfield. Frendrup offers immediate experience in one of the major European leagues despite being 25 years old.

Currently, the scenario involves monitoring and understanding the conditions set by Genoa before proceeding. The contract duration until 2028 will be a key factor in any future negotiations.

The next move depends on Real Betis. If the club decides to convert the interest into an offer, they will need to engage in discussions with Genoa and ascertain the extent to which they are willing to go to secure the signing of Morten Frendrup.
