Sports planning at Real Betis does not stop, despite much of the media focus being on the crucial continuity of Manuel Pellegrini at the helm of the project. The Chilean coach is undoubtedly the linchpin that will determine many of the future decisions.

However, the green and white sports management is already making moves to strengthen the squad, especially in a vital area like the midfield. The Andalusian club has set its sights on an experienced profile with a very attractive contractual situation: Toma Basic.

The Croatian midfielder emerges as a market opportunity that fits the club's philosophy. He finishes his contract with Lazio at the end of the current season, which would facilitate his free transfer in the next summer market.

Real Betis' Wish: A quality reinforcement for the midfield

Real Betis' interest in the Balkan midfielder is not random. At 29 years old, Toma Basic offers a combination of international experience and valuable technical skills. At Lazio, Basic has featured in eight matches so far this season, contributing both in creation and finishing. He has scored two goals and provided an assist in those 593 minutes of play, showcasing his ability to get into the box. However, his main value lies in the balance he can bring to the central zone.

Basic is a versatile central midfielder, excelling in ball control with his left foot, whether in short passes for smooth circulation or long passes that break lines. Although he shines more in defensive tasks, his versatility allows him to adapt to different roles.

Real Betis sees him as an ideal piece for rotation in the first line of midfielders. This dynamic and defensively solid profile would complement key figures like Marc Roca and the recent signing of Pablo Fornals. Furthermore, his arrival would offer competition and rest to players like Nelson Deossa, ensuring bench depth for Pellegrini's demands.

Toma Basic: Market Opportunity

The opportunity to bring in a player of Toma Basic's caliber without having to pay a transfer fee is a golden opportunity for the Betis team. The Croatian, with experience in Serie A and European competitions, would provide a leap in quality and a reliable asset for the 'Engineer's' scheme.

The expiration of his contract with the Italian team makes him one of the most coveted free agents in the market. The Heliópolis club aims to secure an intelligent and forward-thinking signing. Bringing in a player with Toma Basic's characteristics would help lighten the match load on current starters. His addition would be a strategic move to enhance the midfield for the challenges of the upcoming season.

Real Betis' technical department is accelerating negotiations with the player's entourage. The goal is to secure Basic before other European giants join the bidding. Time is of the essence to close this deal that excites the green and white fans. The search for balance and experience in the midfield has a Croatian accent and a name of its own.
