Real Betis Balompié is seriously considering the signing of Samu Costa if the sale of Johnny Cardoso is finalized, as reported by Fichaerio. The American midfielder has attracted interest from several teams, including Atlético de Madrid, who have closely followed his progress following his outstanding performance against los colchoneros. Despite his value within Betis' system, the possibility of an offer close to 25 million euros could change the situation.

Johnny Cardoso has proven to be a key piece in the green and white midfield, and his departure would leave a difficult void to fill. However, the club's sports management is prepared to act if an offer surpassing his release clause is received.

Samu Costa, Betis' Target

In this scenario, Betis would embark on the search for a replacement, with Samu Costa emerging as the primary candidate. Currently at RCD Mallorca, the player, an international with the Portuguese national team, is valued at around 15 million euros.

Costa's adaptation to Betis' style of play could be relatively quick, given his experience in the Spanish league and his versatility on the field. With Jagoba Arrasate trusting in his quality, the player has been establishing himself as a key figure in Mallorca's midfield. Betis' offer would not only be a strategic move to strengthen their squad but also a long-term investment that could benefit the club in its ambitions in LaLiga and European competitions.
