Real Betis is after the signings of 3 South American talents.

Real Betis currently has three ongoing fronts in Argentina and Brazil to secure the signings of Mikel Amondarain, Kevin Lomónaco, and Kaiki Bruno for the upcoming market.

This technical expedition to emblematic stadiums like Libertadores de América and Mineirão confirms the roadmap of a technical secretariat aiming to anticipate European competition. Betis' emissaries have already begun formal contacts to assess the departure conditions of these players, whose ages and projections fit the economic and sports growth model of the club.

Mikel Amondarain and the new machinery room in Heliópolis

Intense work is underway at Benito Villamarín offices to secure the signing of Mikel Amondarain, the talented 21-year-old midfielder shining at Estudiantes de La Plata. Conversations with "Pincha" are progressing positively, although both parties remain cautious about the final operation timelines.

Betis particularly values the distribution ability and physical presence of the Argentine midfielder, who has played nine matches in the current Apertura Tournament. With a goal and an assist to his credit, Amondarain emerges as a strategic piece to rejuvenate Manuel Pellegrini's midfield.

Although his market value on specialized platforms stands at 1.50 million euros, the transfer could eventually reach around five million dollars. Mikel Amondarain is under contract until 2027, but the player's desire to move to Europe could hasten the agreement between clubs.

Kevin Lomónaco: the defensive wall coming from Avellaneda

The search for defensive solidity has led Betis' scouts to closely follow Kevin Lomónaco's steps during the recent duel between Independiente and Talleres. The Argentine center-back is a top priority to strengthen the defense, provided Natan's departure is finalized in the summer window.

Real Betis has very favorable reports on the tactical maturity of a defender with a release clause of 22 million euros. However, sources close to the negotiation suggest that Kevin Lomónaco's transfer could close for a figure close to half of that amount.

The player himself is excited about the prospect of landing in La Liga, enticed by a project that consistently fights for European positions. Despite considering other options like Vitao, Betis believes that now is Kevin Lomónaco's time to succeed in the Old Continent.

Betis' foray into the Brazilian market has a name: Kaiki Bruno, the 23-year-old left-back standing out in Cruzeiro's ranks. Sevilla's representatives were present at Mineirão to monitor his performance against Santos, initiating the initial inquiries with his surroundings.

Kaiki: youth and depth for Betis' left wing

Unlike previous cases, the interest in Kaiki is in an exploratory phase without a formal offer on the table. With a contract valid until late 2027, the full-back has already captured the interest of other international clubs like Italy's Como due to his impressive displays.

Betis remains closely attentive to this wing-back's progression, accumulating three assists between Série A and Campeonato Mineiro. Kaiki's attacking contribution and potential for value appreciation make him a highly attractive profile for medium-term sports planning.

With these three operations underway, Betis reaffirms its commitment to the South American market as the primary source of young and profitable talent. The arrival of Mikel Amondarain, Kevin Lomónaco, or Kaiki would represent a necessary leap in quality to maintain the team's competitiveness in all competitions.
