The laughable price the Betis has set for Borja Iglesias

Real Betis has significantly lowered its economic demands to facilitate the departure of Borja Iglesias, setting his price at just 2 million euros. This decision marks a key turning point in negotiations with Celta de Vigo, a club that has shown interest in bringing back the Galician forward in recent weeks. The financial approach between the parties has opened a real path for the signing to be finalized in the coming days.

The attacker already has an agreement outlined with the sky blue team for three seasons, further reinforcing the possibility of his return to Balaídos, where he took his first steps as a professional. For Betis, beyond the transfer amount, the relief of freeing his high salary—exceeding three million gross annually—is crucial. The Andalusian club is looking to restructure its squad and needs financial breathing room to address new signings.

Betis Lowers Borja Iglesias' Sale Price

In Heliópolis, they were aware that maintaining the initial demands of five million euros could stall the operation, especially considering the market context and the player's salary burden. The reduction responds to both a pragmatic approach and the need to make room for other sporting priorities.

The Verdiblanca board insists that a cost-free exit is not being considered but understands that the benefit lies more in medium-term savings than immediate income. Nevertheless, the agreement is getting closer and could be finalized sooner than expected, allowing Borja Iglesias to embark on a new phase in Vigo and Betis to focus on strengthening key areas of its squad.
