The Premier League goes after Nathan

Latest news from Real Betis transfer market: Manuel Pellegrini's team has received an offer from Fulham for Natan, a 25-year-old Brazilian center-back, in this final stretch of the market. The defender is under contract until 2030, and the Verdiblanco team is willing to consider a sale after his value increased during the last season.

The arrival of the English club triggers one of the scenarios that Betis had been handling since the beginning of the summer. Natan was the player with the most minutes on the team last season, and his market value has risen to around €25 million, after the Verdiblancos invested €9 million to buy him permanently from Napoli.

Real Betis receives a proposal for Natan

Natan initially arrived on loan at Real Betis in the summer of 2024 and impressed the club during his first season in Heliópolis. In June 2025, the sports management exercised the purchase option included in the agreement with Napoli and signed him to a contract until June 30, 2030.

The investment made then was around €9 million, an amount that now allows Betis to aspire to a significant capital gain. This summer, the club set the starting point for a possible sale above €30 million, following the Brazilian's sporting and economic growth.

The center-back has just completed a season with almost total playing time. He played 41 matches before the end of the season and was the player with the most minutes under Manuel Pellegrini, a level of involvement that increased his importance within the squad and his market appeal.

Fulham enters the scene for the Brazilian defender

Fulham now emerges as another suitor from the Premier League. The London team is active in this market and has already made significant deals in Spain during the summer, including the signing of Gonzalo García from Real Madrid for €40 million.

For Betis, the key will lie in the economic conditions of the offer. The Verdiblanco club has been considering figures between €25 million and over €30 million in recent months to seriously consider the central defender's departure, whose revaluation allows for a multiplier of the investment made in 2025, as reported by Santi Aouna.

The potential sale would also have direct consequences on the sporting planning. Betis regards Natan as one of its assets with the greatest potential to generate income, and a significant transaction would free up space to make new signings before the market closes.

Real Betis could cash in before the deadline

The contractual situation works in favor of the Seville entity. With four more seasons ahead until 2030, Real Betis can set its conditions without the pressure of facing the end of the player's contract in the near future.

Natan has gone from costing €9 million to reaching a valuation close to €25 million in just one season as Betis' property. This evolution explains why his name has been linked to various European teams throughout the summer.

The next step will depend on the negotiation with Fulham and the final amount that the English team is willing to offer. Real Betis will evaluate the operation considering Natan's growth, his contract until 2030, and the opportunity to obtain a capital gain to finance new moves before the market closes.
