Real Betis is already moving in the market to find a reliable replacement for the imminent departure of Johnny Cardoso to Atlético de Madrid. In this scenario, Manuel Pellegrini has reportedly pointed directly to Enzo Barrenechea as his favorite to reinforce the Verdiblanca midfield. The 24-year-old Argentine midfielder, who belongs to Aston Villa, has already experienced the Spanish league during his time at Valencia, where he left a good impression during his loan spell.

Pellegrini particularly values his ability to cover ground, his good positioning, and the energy he brings in defensive tasks. According to AS, Barrenechea does not fit into Unai Emery's current project at Birmingham, and several European clubs have inquired about his situation. However, at Betis, they see him as an interesting opportunity both for his qualities and his future potential.

The Argentine is one of the best options on the table for Betis

Although the sporting direction continues to analyze several names to fill the gap left by Johnny, Barrenechea is one of the options considered most favorably internally. He represents a profile that, to some extent, resembles that of Guido Rodríguez, who also left a significant void when he departed a year ago. The club does not want to rush and is seeking an addition that, besides performing immediately, can appreciate in value in the medium term.

Among the alternatives is Morten Frendrup from Genoa, though his high price (around 20 million) complicates the operation. In this context, Barrenechea emerges as a more accessible option and fully aligns with Pellegrini's preferences.
