The midfielder of Real Betis, Sergi Altimira, has caught the attention of Southampton and Crystal Palace, two teams from the Premier League looking to strengthen in the winter market. His outstanding performance in the team led by Manuel Pellegrini, especially during a critical period when injuries affected the Betis midfield, has made him an attractive target for both English clubs.
At 22 years old, Altimira has been a key pillar in Betis' midfield in a season marked by important absences like those of William Carvalho and Marc Roca. His ability to adapt to different game situations and his consistent performance have generated interest not only in England but also from other European teams. However, from the Benito Villamarin, they see the player as an important piece for the future, complicating his potential departure.
Premier League Battles for Santi Altimira
Real Betis' stance is clear: Altimira will not be sold unless an offer significantly surpasses the club's expectations. Given the interest from Southampton and Crystal Palace, both teams would have to present a convincing proposal to secure the midfielder's services.
If his sale is finalized, Betis would be required to find a replacement in the middle of the winter transfer market, a challenge that would further complicate their sporting planning. Possible income from the transfer of Assane Diao to Como could influence the club's decisions, but it will all depend on the magnitude of the proposals they receive for Altimira.
Meanwhile, the Premier League waits, and Altimira emerges as one of the Spanish prospects who could make the leap to English football in the coming months.
