It promises to be a very busy summer transfer window for Real Betis, whose primary focus will be to add defenders to Manuel Pellegrini's squad. Abner Vinicius, Juan Miranda, Chadi Riad and Sokratis are all set to leave in the coming weeks, and replacements are absolutely essential.
If Abner and Miranda both leave, Betis would need two new defenders. They have been linked with several options, and now another one has appeared on their list. According to Globo (via Brand), Wendell from Porto has been discussed by the sports department of Los Verdiblancos as a possible candidate.
Wendell joined Porto from Bayer Leverkusen in 2021, and in the last two seasons in particular, he has been in excellent form, earning him a call-up to Brazil's squad for this summer's Copa America. If he shows up, it could allow Betis the opportunity to run the rule over him.
The Real Betis they will be desperate to get their defensive targets on point as there is potential for a Top 4/5 finish next season if Pellegrini has the tools at his disposal. It remains to be seen who will arrive at the Benito Villamarin.
