Real Betis has shown interest in Leonardo Spinazzola as an option to strengthen their left flank during the winter transfer market. The Italian full-back, currently at Napoli, could arrive on loan, a solution that the Andalusian club considers suitable following doubts raised by Ricardo Rodríguez's performance. The Betis sports management is evaluating this possibility, especially considering the 31-year-old player's experience and versatility.
Spinazzola, who joined Napoli last summer after leaving Roma as a free agent, has not found continuity at his new team. The arrival of Antonio Conte to the Napoli bench and the switch to a back four have limited his opportunities, as the full-back feels more comfortable in systems with wing-backs. This situation has opened the door to a potential move in January, with Betis being one of the most prominent suitors.
Spinazzola, on Real Betis' radar
The Italian, renowned for his ability to attack and defend with balance, would fit perfectly into Manuel Pellegrini's scheme. Furthermore, his experience in high-level competitions, including Serie A and the Euro, makes him an appealing candidate for the Seville-based team, which aims to solidify its squad for the second half of the season.
However, Betis is not alone in this race. Other clubs, including offers from Saudi Arabia, have also shown interest in Spinazzola. Nevertheless, the prospect of joining LaLiga could be more enticing for the player, both due to the competitive level and the chance to regain prominence in a team with European aspirations. Negotiations may intensify in the coming weeks, and Spinazzola seems to be the chosen one to cover a key position in the Betis squad.
