Real Betis face a challenging situation in midfield and attack for the upcoming January transfer window. Despite their collective improvement in performance, physical issues with key figures like William Carvalho and Marc Roca have limited the team's options in midfield. Furthermore, the lack of efficiency in attack has become a barrier to climbing positions in LaLiga. In light of this context, the Betis sporting director is exploring alternatives to strengthen the squad, with one option gaining traction being Arkadiusz Milik.
The Polish forward, currently at Juventus, has been sidelined this season due to a meniscus injury that required surgery. Despite this absence, Milik, aged 30, boasts a solid scoring record, tallying 161 goals throughout his career. However, his high salary and contract with the Italian club until 2026 complicate a potential transfer.
Only a loan may be feasible to sign Milik
As reported by 'EstadioDeportivo', Betis could seek a loan with financial support from Juventus to cover part of the player's wages. This move would heavily rely on the Verdiblancos freeing up salary space, potentially through the departure of a player like Cédric Bakambu, who has not met goal-scoring expectations.
Although Milik's physical condition raises doubts about his immediate impact, his quality and experience could be pivotal in enhancing Betis's offensive effectiveness in the latter half of the season.
