The LaLiga player who has been very close to signing for Manchester City

Manchester City has set its sights on Sergi Altimira, a young talent from Real Betis, during the winter transfer market. The search for a defensive midfielder to cover Rodri's absence led the English team to seriously consider the Catalan player. However, the Andalusian club has been firm in closing any possibility of a transfer, making it clear that the midfielder will not leave Benito Villamarin.

Real Betis to renew Sergi Altimira's contract

At 23 years old, Altimira has become a key piece in the green-and-white team's scheme. His vision of the game, ability to recover balls, and maturity in the midfield have piqued the interest of numerous European teams, but City was the closest to making a formal offer. Betis' refusal, however, has been emphatic: the player is non-transferable at this time.

Furthermore, the Betis club plans to start negotiations in the coming days to secure their young promise. The board intends to extend his contract and improve his salary conditions, aiming to ward off potential future temptations. With the constant growth shown by the Catalan player, the directors want to ensure that Altimira remains a fundamental piece for the team in the long term.

Despite the attractive project offered by the Premier League and the tempting calls from Manchester City, Sergi Altimira will continue to defend Real Betis' colors. His immediate future is linked to the Andalusian club, which trusts in continuing to enjoy the midfielder's talent over the next seasons.
