In search of creative talent for the midfield, Betis faces an unexpected adversary: Peta Stanic, the Serbian attacking midfielder who could have landed at Sevilla last summer and is now challenging the verdiblancos from Ludogorets.

The failed signing of Peta Stanic in Sevilla

As reported by EstadioDeportivo, during Víctor Orta's tenure, Sevilla initiated negotiations to bring Petar Stanic to the 25/26 project with an offensive approach. Orta already had the player's approval and had reached an agreement with his club, Backa Topola.

With Orta's departure, those decisions fell to Antonio Cordón. But amidst priorities and budget adjustments, the signing was put on hold. The deal lost momentum. Eventually, Stanic and his club agreed on his move to Ludogorets for approximately 1.8 million euros, a figure similar to what Sevilla had considered.

This situation prevented him from playing in the Seville derby with the rival's shirt. But fate has now arranged for Peta Stanic to face Real Betis this afternoon in European competition, with the opportunity to settle sporting scores with Sevilla from a distance.

Stanic, standout player for Ludogorets against Betis

Emerging as the spearhead of his team's attack, Petar Stanic boasts significant performance: three goals and three assists in 14 games, not always starting. His ability to arrive from the midfield makes him a real threat.

Eager after scoring the winning goal against Malmö in the last Europa League match and providing an assist in the league victory against Montana (3-0), he arrives with high morale. In Europe, he tends to be a starter, indicating that Pellegrini must take him into serious consideration. This game in Bulgaria is a litmus test for Betis. Their first European match ended in a draw, and they need a win to strengthen their chances.

A European rival known from the market

Although Sevilla failed to secure Stanic’s signing, Betis will have to contend today with a player that the former also coveted. Cordón's oversight might turn him into a nemesis, albeit disguised as a continental rival. This confrontation is not just on the field: it's a nod to the thwarted market deal that ultimately benefited Ludogorets.

The clash in Razgrad: a challenge for Pellegrini

The Bulgarian team, second in the local league, faces the match against Betis with offensive pace and explosive transitions. Rui Mota, their coach, always opts for attacking. Stanic already scored from a penalty against Stuttgart, reaffirming his ability to influence the European outcome.

On the Betis side, Pellegrini must devise a plan to neutralize the Bulgarian midfield's moves, including Stanic. Despite having a stronger squad, Betis must show assertiveness.

Although Stanic won't join LaLiga with Sevilla, today he has the chance to prove that his signing wasn't a past mistake. The final paragraph of the article serves as a promise: Peta Stanic has become a significant name in the unexpected continental derby for Betis.
