Real Betis is preparing to get rid of the starter in January

Real Betis have already completed one major exit this month in the sale of Assane Diao to Como for €12 million, and another could arrive soon as club officials prepare for new approaches to sign first-choice goalkeeper Rui Silva.

Silva has been the undisputed number one at Betis for the last few years, and while he is expected to retain that role at least until the end of this season, he could be transferred before the 2025 winter transfer window closes in a few a few weeks. time. According to Relevo, Sporting CP is very interested in signing the Portuguese and a loan agreement will be proposed (with a mandatory purchase clause).

According to Diario AS, Betis are willing to part ways with Silva now, provided they receive an acceptable offer. His plan was to sell anyway in the summer, as Álvaro Vallés will almost certainly arrive when his contract with Las Palmas expires.

If Silva leaves this month, Betis will look to accelerate Vallés’ arrival, although that would depend on the price Las Palmas is asking for a player who will lose for free at the end of the season.
