Real Betis Balompié faces the final weeks of the transfer market with several uncertainties to resolve, especially in the central defense. Following the departures of Chadi Riad and Sokratis, Betis has strengthened its defense with the addition of Diego Llorente and the return of Marc Bartra, who has been sidelined for almost a year due to injury. During the preseason, young Nobel Mendy was also given the opportunity, impressing until an injury in a match against Cádiz halted his progress.

Ricardo Rodríguez is the latest addition to the Betis squad. Although his natural position is left-back, the Swiss has showcased his versatility by playing as a center-back, debuting in that role against Bayer Leverkusen. However, the recent departure of Germán Pezzella has left a significant gap in the center of defense that Betis aims to fill with a new signing.

Betis Turns Attention to Natan from Napoli

The club is focusing on Natan, a 23-year-old Brazilian center-back currently playing for Napoli. Negotiations are underway to secure his loan, as the player is not part of the Italian club's plans. Previously, Betis had shown interest in Soumalia Coulibaly from Borussia Dortmund, but the high financial demands of the German club complicated the deal.

In addition to Natan, the team continues to explore other options to reinforce its defense. Among the names being considered are Vitao from Internacional de Porto Alegre, and Sebastián Cáceres, a Uruguayan defender at América de México who has gained prominence after a strong performance in the Copa América. Betis' sports management is working against the clock to secure the necessary reinforcement and face the season with defensive assurance.
