La Liga
Pablo Maffeo is shaping up to be the next reinforcement for Real Betis Balompié, in an operation that is very close to being finalized and could mark the end of his cycle at Mallorca. The right-back, despite having a contract until 2027, is on the market after losing prominence in the Balearic team and completely breaking his bond with the fans.
The relationship between the defender and the stands of the vermilion team has deteriorated in recent months, especially following the defeat against Getafe, where he was singled out along with other teammates by the supporters. His poor performance and contractual situation have made his departure a priority for both parties, and in that context, Betis has taken the lead to incorporate him into their squad.
Pablo Maffeo, one step away from Betis
The green and white entity, with Sabaly and Bellerín alternating on the right side, is looking to strengthen that flank with a profile of greater solidity and depth. Despite his discreet season, Maffeo remains a player with experience and mileage in LaLiga, making him an attractive option for Manuel Pellegrini for the upcoming season.
The defender's starting price would be around five million euros, although the wear and tear with his current club could allow for a discount in the operation. Several teams have closely monitored his situation, but Betis has made a more determined move.
Trained in Espanyol's academy and with experience at Manchester City, Girona, Stuttgart, Huesca, and Mallorca itself, Maffeo could now have a new opportunity to relaunch his career in a project with European aspirations. At the Villamarín, they are already preparing his welcome.
