The midfielder from the League that Pep Guardiola has his eye on

Manchester City is closely following Sergio Altimira, a midfielder from Real Betis who has managed to establish himself as a key player in the team led by Manuel Pellegrini. Despite going unnoticed in his early days, the young footballer has earned a place among the elite and is now being targeted by several important clubs, with the English side being one of the main suitors.

Altimira, who joined Betis in 2023 from Getafe after a period of training in Catalan football, has shown significant growth. His ability to impose himself physically in the center of the field, combined with his verticality and dynamism, has caught the attention of top scouts. His evolution has been such that, in a few months, he has gone from a promising player to becoming one of the standout figures in the green and white team.

Guardiola is obsessed with signing a new midfielder

City, in its constant search for young talents to strengthen its midfield, sees Altimira as a player with great long-term potential. However, Betis has no intention of letting him go easily and is already considering ways to secure him. According to reports from the newspaper Marca, his release clause is set at 40 million euros, although the Andalusian club could accept a figure closer to 20 million.

The future of the midfielder will be one of the topics to follow in the coming transfer windows. Manchester City's involvement in the equation raises interest and could expedite his move to a top European team.
