Real Betis are looking for a complete overhaul of their left-back, and already have a top target in their sights.
Abner Vinicius and Juan Miranda are both set to leave the club this summer, and second Brand their sporting directors have been working overtime to ensure smooth continuity from that side.
The first target is Sergi Cardona, the Cadiz player who has really impressed this season. He is out of contract in the summer, and they represent a real blow if the Andalusians can steal a march on the competition and sign him.
Apparently his agent has met the club for talks on several occasions already.
Then there is the bigger name option – Lyon's Nico Tagliafico. He will be available this summer and has a year left on his deal after this season.
Betis have done a great job of staying competitive on a limited budget in recent years, and there will be a lot of faith in those in charge to get this revamp right.
