Real Betis joins the bidding for the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The Real Betis has emerged strongly in the race for the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko, a discard from Arsenal under Mikel Arteta due to his decreased prominence since last season, as reported by the English press.

The 28-year-old Ukrainian, whose contract expires in the summer of 2026, wants to leave the Emirates Stadium to regain playing time, aiming for the 2026 World Cup, which is why he is also being tracked by Fenerbahce and Porto.

Zinchenko, experience and versatility for Pellegrini

For Manuel Pellegrini, signing Zinchenko would mean adding quality and versatility to his squad. He can play as a left-back or central midfielder, competing with Ricardo Rodríguez and Junior Firpo in defense, or with Marc Roca, Sergi Altimira, Pablo Fornals, and Nelson Deossa in midfield.

In the last season, he only played 789 minutes in 23 official matches, a figure that reflects his decreased prominence. However, his experience in the Premier League and international competitions make him a very attractive profile for the Betis project.

Betis wants to sign Zinchenko

Arsenal is open to considering offers for the player, although the negotiation will not be easy. Porto and Fenerbahçe remain in contact, but Real Betis is confident that the player's interest in La Liga may tip the scales in their favor.

One of the factors complicating his transfer is that Zinchenko could choose to fulfill the last year of his contract in London and leave for free in 2026, reducing the room for maneuver for interested clubs.

A "tactical" signing for Betis

The arrival of Zinchenko would fit into the club's strategy of strengthening its squad with experienced and versatile players. His ability to adapt to different roles makes him a valuable resource for Pellegrini, especially in a season where Betis aims to compete at the highest level in the league and European competitions.

If the Andalusian club manages to convince the player and reach an agreement with Arsenal, the signing could become one of the most significant moves in the market for the verdiblanco team.
