Confirmed: Real Betis secure deal for new defender | OneFootball

La Liga outfit Real Betis have this weekend tied up a deal for a fresh addition to the club’s defensive ranks.

That’s according to market insider Fabrizio Romano, who points towards Valentin Gómez as the player primed to link up with Manuel Pellegrini’s squad.

Gómez, for his part, is a 22-year-old defender, who generally operates in a central role.

The Argentine, a former youth international with the Albiceleste, has long been held in high regard in his home country.

Gómez has been linked with a number of clubs across Europe over the course of the summer to date, with Dutch giants Feyenoord, for one, understood to boast a strong interest in a deal for the stopper.

As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media this weekend is anything to go by, then the Vélez Sarsfield talent looks set to end up in Spain.

As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano:

‘Valentin Gómez to Real Betis, here we go! Full agreement in place for the Argentine defender. Contract until June 2030 and $6.5m fee confirmed.’
