Real Betis are expected to be in the market for a new striker in the summer, with Borja Iglesias and Willian Jose likely to be moved on before the start of next season. Cedric Bakambu and Chimy Avila would remain as options, but Los Verdiblancos want to secure a significant signing of a number one.
One of his targets, as reported by Sports stadium, is the Borja Mayoral of Getafe. The 26-year-old has been in excellent form this season, scoring 15 goals in La Liga, which makes him the fourth top scorer in the competition – a very impressive feat.
Unfortunately for Betis, two main problems are likely to ensure that a deal for Mayoral is off the table. First, he is predictably injured after suffering a serious knee injury against Las Palmas last month, which could keep him out until the start of next season. Second, Getafe must ask for 20 million euros to secure a sale.
The Real Betis can not afford this asking price, which suggests that a deal is unlikely. In any case, significant sales could allow you to enter into negotiations with Getafeat least.
