Real Betis are still trying to find the final pieces of their defensive puzzle: two new central defenders. German Pezzella's return to Argentina has left another hole in Manuel Pellegrini's squad that was already there, and it needs to be filled before the summer transfer window closes.
Betis have been chasing Vitao from the International for several weeks, but with little progress being made, they have now turned their attention to another Brazilian: Natan. According to ABC (via MD), discussions are already underway Naples on an agreement for the 23-year-old, who is not present in Antonio Conte's plans for the 2024-25 season.
A season-long loan has been proposed, and if Napoli obliges, Natan could be the second centre-back to make the move to Benito Villamarin this summer – after Diego Llorente.
Betis they are determined to sign the two central defenders needed for Pellegrini's team. Natan and Vitao would be solid additions, while Club America's Sebastian Caceres is also of interest. It remains to be seen who will end up joining before the end of the summer.
