La Liga
Ricardo Rodríguez is once again at the center of the market debate as his possible departure from Real Betis is reactivated in this crucial phase of the season. The green-and-white club, working on various fronts, is paying special attention to the left flank, an area that continues to raise doubts despite adjustments made months ago.
Ricardo Rodríguez gains ground in Ligue 1
The name of Ricardo Rodríguez has started to resonate strongly outside of Spain, particularly in Ligue 1, where his reports are highly valued. Nice has shown a strong interest in the Swiss full-back, to the extent of seriously considering his signing in this market.
In France, they believe that his experience, versatility, and defensive reliability align with the current needs of the project.
Sporting fit and the World Cup factor
On a personal level, Ricardo Rodríguez does not see a potential change of scenery negatively as it could provide him with more competitive playing time. With the World Cup on the horizon, the Swiss international prioritizes minutes and prominence, aspects that might be more assured away from the Benito Villamarín.
The opportunity to compete on the French Riviera is appealing to the player, whose contract expires at the end of the season.

The price set by Real Betis for Ricardo Rodríguez
In Heliópolis, they are aware of the market value of Ricardo Rodríguez, even just a few months away from being a free agent. Hence, Real Betis would be willing to negotiate his departure for a sum close to one million euros.
Manuel Pellegrini does not deem his exit essential, but nor would he close the door if the deal unlocks a reinforcement that elevates the level of the left flank. The Swiss player's departure would allow reactivating alternatives that were previously on the table, with younger profiles and medium-term potential.
The immediate future of Ricardo Rodríguez is uncertain, with potential movements that could accelerate in the coming days. Real Betis will have to decide whether to opt for continuity or capitalize now on Ricardo Rodríguez's departure to strengthen a key area of the team.
