La Liga
Real Betis is already actively working in the transfer market with the clear objective of strengthening its defense, and Pablo Maffeo, Mallorca's full-back, is the player in sight, as reported by Ficherio. The team's coach, Manuel Pellegrini, considers full-backs essential to his style of play, so the club sees in Maffeo a strategic opportunity to provide security and versatility in both defense and attack. Negotiations are underway, and Betis aims to secure his signing in the upcoming winter transfer window.
The Verdiblanco club is looking to address some deficiencies in the right-back position, an area that has been affected by the instability of its current players.
Pablo Maffeo, in Real Betis' Sights
The continuity of Youssouf Sabaly is uncertain due to his frequent injuries, while Héctor Bellerín has shown inconsistent performances that have raised doubts within the coaching staff. In this context, Maffeo's arrival would not only bring experience but also the ability to contribute to the attack, a characteristic that Pellegrini values in his system.
Maffeo, 27 years old, is under contract with Mallorca until 2026, but Betis could explore different strategies to expedite his incorporation. While the operation would be more cost-effective as the summer of 2025 approaches, the Andalusian club is evaluating the option of advancing his arrival in January to make the most of his contributions in the current La Liga season.
