La Liga
Real Betis has set its sights on Abdel Abqar, a center-back from Deportivo Alavés, as one of its priorities to strengthen the defense for the upcoming season. With his contract about to expire, the opportunity to acquire the Moroccan defender at no transfer cost represents a strategic chance that the Verdiblanco team does not want to miss. His arrival would allow Pellegrini to shore up a defense that has shown clear deficiencies during the current season.
Abqar, who joined the Alavés first team in 2020, has been one of the key players in Alavés' campaign. At 25 years old, he has accumulated over 2,200 minutes in the current LaLiga edition, establishing himself as a solid defender with good tactical awareness. His height and anticipatory skills make him an attractive piece for any team seeking balance in the backline.
Real Betis wants to sign Abdel Abqar
Real Betis has been monitoring his progress for some time. During the winter transfer window, the Andalusians explored his incorporation, although the financial demands of the Vitorian club complicated the negotiations. Now, with Abqar's contractual link nearing its end, the conditions have changed, and the Verdiblancos are determined to close the deal before their neighbors from Sevilla, who also value the defender.
The sports management of Real Betis, led by Manu Fajardo, understands that signing Abqar not only meets a sporting need but also a financial one. With the possibility of losing Natan and the physical issues of other defenders like Bartra, it becomes imperative to secure a reinforcement with guarantees. In that context, Abqar emerges as the ideal profile: league experience, proven performance, and reduced cost. Everything indicates that the outcome could be finalized in the coming days.
