Real Betis is in the midst of searching for a fourth center-back to strengthen the defense for the upcoming season. The club's idea is to invest in a young player with potential to grow and who can play a prominent role in the team without the immediate pressure that comes with being a highly experienced footballer.
At the moment, the Verdiblanco club has three names on the table for this position. The main target is still Ghilardi; however, negotiations have become complicated because Fiorentina, which owns 50% of his rights, has significantly increased the price. Therefore, Betis is considering other alternatives that could fit their sports and financial plan.
Real Betis already has two alternatives for Ghilardi.
One of the options that has gained importance in recent days is Jacobo Ramón, a young defender who belongs to Real Madrid. After a strong end to the season, he is seeking a new destination to establish himself and continue improving. Betis has already started talks with his representatives, and the willingness is good. However, they are not alone in the race, as other clubs like Como 1907, managed by Cesc Fàbregas, also want to acquire him.
Another interesting alternative is Aarón Anselmino, a 20-year-old Argentine center-back who arrived at Chelsea a year ago from Boca Juniors. Although he has not had opportunities in London, he remains a player with great potential who could fit into the Verdiblanco project.
The club is trying to secure this reinforcement as soon as possible, without making a large investment that would jeopardize the arrival of other players for priority positions, such as the midfield. Thus, Betis keeps the options open to sign one of these three defenders and assemble a competitive and balanced team for the 2025 season.
