Antonio Raíllo has become one of the names on Real Betis's agenda to strengthen their defense next season. The center-back from Mallorca, with a solid track record at the Balearic team, has shown outstanding performance in recent years, something that has not gone unnoticed by the green-and-whites. At 33 years old, the Seville team values his experience and leadership as essential qualities to bolster the defense.

Mallorca relies on Raíllo not leaving

Betis, looking to strengthen their defensive line with proven players, sees Raíllo as an affordable and reliable option. His contract with Mallorca expires in 2026, so his transfer would not require a large economic investment. Furthermore, the sports management of the Andalusian team believes that the center-back would fit perfectly into Manuel Pellegrini's playing philosophy, providing solidity and character to the backline.

However, at Son Moix, they do not view his departure favorably. Raíllo is the captain and a reference for the squad, a key piece both on and off the field. His influence in the locker room and his commitment to the club have been fundamental for Mallorca's growth in recent years. From the board, the intention is to retain him until the end of his contract, although the possibility of a formal offer from Betis could change the picture.

Betis' interest reflects the need to incorporate experience into a defense that has shown certain weaknesses in the current season. The final decision will depend on multiple factors, including the player's willingness, who will have to consider whether to continue leading Mallorca or face a new challenge at the Benito Villamarín.
