According to MundoDeportivo, an agreement with Real Betis is practically sealed. He would sign for the remainder of the season and four more campaigns, as confirmed by sources from Mexico and Seville. The operation has accelerated in recent days. The player was not called up for América's last match, an unequivocal sign that the outcome is imminent.

At Club América, he has played 227 official matches. He has scored 22 goals and provided 30 assists, figures that reflect his impact and consistency.
The "Maguito" who captivated Club América

In Heliópolis, they see him as a key piece to raise the level of the midfield and bring creativity between the lines.

Natural Fit in LaLiga
Álvaro Fidalgo's style fits perfectly in LaLiga. Possession, associative play, and the ability to organize from the base. Real Betis seeks control and quality in the midfield. The Asturian brings composure, final pass, and competitive personality.
Furthermore, he arrives at the peak of his footballing maturity after taking on responsibilities at one of the most demanding clubs in the American continent.
From Mexico to Seville, with Intact Ambition
The return to Spain is not a step backward. For Álvaro Fidalgo, it is an opportunity to prove himself in European elite football. His potential debut with the Mexican national team adds an international component that strengthens his competitive profile.
