Sofyan Amrabat, a 29-year-old Moroccan midfielder, has reached an economic agreement to once again become the star signing for Real Betis this summer. The operation now depends on Fenerbahçe, which is asking for 20 million euros for a player with a contract until June 30, 2028.

The agreement with the midfielder allows Betis to resolve a relevant part of the negotiation. According to information published in Turkey by Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, Amrabat has accepted the personal conditions offered by the green and white team, which aims to sign him to a mid-term contract to adapt his salary to the club's economy.

Sofyan Amrabat expects a reduction from Fenerbahçe

The distance between the clubs remains focused on the transfer price. In Turkey, Betis' proposal has been placed between 7 and 8 million euros, while Fenerbahçe aims to reach 20 million through a sale to the highest bidder.

The Istanbul club is using Saudi Arabia's interest to support that valuation. Al-Ittihad has offered 10 million fixed euros and an additional 5 million in variables, an amount that still does not meet the Turkish entity's demands.

There were also reports of a possible bid from Al-Qadsiah, although that proposal has not materialized. Amrabat, for his part, prioritizes continuing in Europe at 29 years old and does not currently consider the Saudi league as his first option.

The player's desire strengthens Real Betis' position, but does not resolve the economic difference. The green and white team needs Fenerbahçe to lower its price or accept a formula with variable amounts to bring the positions closer.

Salaries are another relevant point. Amrabat earns around 6 million net euros per season in Turkey, and Betis only assumed approximately 25% of those earnings during his loan. The new contract must distribute that amount over more seasons or include a salary reduction.

Real Betis reserves a place for Amrabat

Manuel Pellegrini has placed Sofyan Amrabat as the top choice to complete the midfield. The coach has already worked with the Moroccan during his loan and has requested an experienced holding midfielder to face LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.

His previous spell was influenced by his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations and by a right leg injury suffered in an accidental collision with Isco Alarcón. Despite those absences, he played 23 official matches and convinced the coaching staff to request his return.

The sports management keeps other options open due to the lack of agreement between clubs. Beni Mukendi, João Palhinha, and Lewis Ferguson appear as alternatives, although none has displaced the Moroccan international from the top position on the list.

The green and whites are very active in this market

Betis has already covered the departure of Sergi Altimira with the addition of Facundo Bernal. The possible exit of Nelson Deossa would allow adding another midfielder, with Dani Ceballos among the names considered for a different role.

Álvaro Fidalgo and Marc Roca will continue unless an offer alters the plan. Pellegrini can also use Pablo Fornals in the double pivot, but has requested to keep enough players to compete in three competitions during the season.

The next move is up to Fenerbahçe. The personal agreement brings Sofyan Amrabat closer to Real Betis, but the signing can only be finalized if the Turkish club lowers the 20 million euros or accepts an economic structure compatible with Betis' salary cap.
