La Liga
Real Betis continues to move in the market with the aim of closing a competitive squad after the departures of Johnny Cardoso and William Carvalho. The signing of Colombian Nelson Deossa, who is already training with Manuel Pellegrini at the Marbella 'stage', has been the first step. However, the Verdiblancos are looking for a second reinforcement in midfield, this time with a more defensive and positional profile.
In this context, the name of Wilfred Ndidi has gained strength. The Nigerian international, currently with Leicester City, is one of the top priorities for the sporting director to complete the midfield. With the English club now in the Championship, the player's contractual situation suggests a possible departure. Nevertheless, Betis faces strong competition, as Besiktas reportedly has reached a preliminary agreement with both the player and the Foxes.
There are opportunities, but only if they make an offer quickly
Despite this, Ndidi's camp has not completely closed the door on Betis, as reported by EstadioDeportivo. The midfielder has asked for some time before committing to the Turkish team, leaving a small window open for a counteroffer from Betis. The main obstacle is financial: after a significant payout for Deossa, Heliópolis is not considering another major operation in midfield.
The current priority is to try to convince Manchester United for the return of Antony, in addition to signing a forward, with Mateo Joseph being strongly rumored. Therefore, the Ndidi option remains on the table, but it will only materialize if the transfer conditions are much more favorable for Benito Villamarin's finances.
