Real Betis eyeing Juventus star for midfield crisis
Real Betis Facing Defensive Midfielder Crisis
Real Betis is currently dealing with a shortage of defensive midfielders as three out of their four senior players in that position are unavailable. William Carvalho, Marc Roca, and Johnny Cardoso are all sidelined due to various injuries, leaving Sergi Altimira as the only viable option for manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Hope for the Return of Injured Players
The club is optimistic about the return of William Carvalho, Marc Roca, and Johnny Cardoso before the start of 2025. However, to strengthen their squad in the meantime, Betis is exploring the option of signing a new midfielder during the upcoming winter transfer window.
Arthur Melo Emerges as a Potential Signing
Among the players under consideration by Betis is Arthur Melo, who is currently out of favor at Juventus and has yet to feature in any matches this season. Real Betis sees this as an opportunity to bring in the talented midfielder on loan in January to bolster their squad.
According to reports, the club’s sporting department is in talks with Arthur Melo’s representatives to potentially secure his services during the winter transfer window.
