In what is being described as one of the most unexpected moves of the summer transfer window, Real Betis have stunned the footballing world by tabling a bold €15 million offer plus a 23-year-old player in a sensational bid to land one of Sevilla’s top goal scorers.
The proposed swap deal has taken both fans and pundits by surprise—not only due to the fierce rivalry between the two Seville-based clubs, but also because of the sheer audacity of Betis’ approach. The idea of such a direct negotiation between Real Betis and Sevilla is nearly unheard of in recent memory, let alone involving a key attacking figure.
Sources close to the negotiations suggest that Betis’ technical team believes the deal could be a “game-changer” and a clear statement of intent ahead of the new season. The unnamed 23-year-old player involved in the swap is reportedly seen as a future star, and his inclusion in the offer adds an intriguing twist to the already wild proposal.
Reaction across Spanish football has been swift and intense. Social media erupted within minutes of the news breaking, with fans labeling it everything from “madness” to “the most daring move in La Liga history.” Many Betis supporters are cautiously optimistic, while Sevilla’s fanbase appears divided—some viewing it as a betrayal, others intrigued by the long-term potential.
While neither club has officially commented on the status of the offer, insiders suggest that discussions are ongoing behind closed doors. Whether Sevilla will entertain the idea remains to be seen—but one thing is clear: Real Betis have just rewritten the rules of transfer negotiations, and the football world is watching.
