Gonzalo Petit, a 19-year-old Uruguayan forward, could cease to be a player for Real Betis, as his future will be decided in the final hours of the transfer market among three options: a loan to Cádiz or a transfer to Olympique de Lyon or Midtjylland. The Verdiblanco club prioritizes a sale that would allow them to recover the initial €4.5 million investment made in his signing.

Cádiz has already made progress in reaching an agreement to incorporate the attacker on loan, according to Matteo Moretto, but Betis is keeping both international options open before executing that plan. Both options would also create more space to complete pending squad movements.

Gonzalo Petit has an agreement to go on loan to Cádiz

The most advanced option for Gonzalo Petit leads to Cádiz. The Andalusian team has positioned itself ahead of other clubs in the Second Division and has prepared a loan to bring the forward in for the 2026/27 season.

Continuing in Spain also has an administrative advantage for the player. Petit could complete the necessary period to begin the naturalization process, a relevant circumstance because he currently occupies a non-EU spot.

This factor has affected his chances with Manuel Pellegrini. The three available spots are taken by Natan, Antony, and Nelson Deossa, so the Uruguayan hasn't even been registered by Betis to compete in LaLiga.

Petit did participate during the preseason but failed to earn a spot in the immediate plans. The club and the player then agreed to look for another destination where he could get more playing time.

Real Betis prioritizes a transfer to Lyon or Midtjylland

The loan to Cádiz, however, remains an option as Real Betis negotiates a sale. Both Olympique de Lyon and Midtjylland have shown willingness to buy the forward, but they need to finalize other operations in their squads first.

Betis' priority is driven by economic reasons. The club paid €4.5 million for 85% of his rights to Nacional de Montevideo in 2025, alongside agreeing on another €2.5 million in variables that have not been exercised yet. Petit signed a contract until 2031.

Before coming to Spain, he scored 12 goals in 34 games with Nacional's first team. He then went on loan to Mirandés, where he played 21 matches, scored 5 goals, and provided an assist, before finishing last season at Granada.

Manuel Pellegrini awaits more room to complete the squad

Petit's departure also influences Manuel Pellegrini's planning. Betis needs to free up salary space to complete pending operations and is working simultaneously on the situations of Iker Losada, Pablo García, and Nelson Deossa.

A permanent sale would provide more flexibility than another loan and would assist the club in its final moves before closing the LaLiga squad. Therefore, the sports management intends to wait until the last minute for Lyon and Midtjylland.

The next few hours will determine the outcome. If either of the two foreign clubs creates room and presents a proposal that allows for the recovery of the investment, Betis will prioritize the transfer. If this possibility does not materialize before the deadline, Gonzalo Petit has the option of going to Cádiz to continue his career on loan.
