The "Fichajes" website confirmed that Real Betis has started moves to strengthen their defense in preparation for the next season, with their main interest being the young Xavi Espart, the 18-year-old right-back from Barcelona.

Ispart demonstrated significant maturity under the leadership of coach Hans Flick, leaving a clear mark despite his limited playing time, especially in the UEFA Champions League against Newcastle and a full match against Sevilla.

Coach Manuel Pellegrini believes that the addition of Espart will enhance the team's offensive depth, with the potential to increase competitiveness within the lineup alongside Bellerin's experience and Angel Ortiz's capabilities.

Espart believes that joining a project that guarantees him playing time and a European opportunity would be an important step in his career, while Betis continues to monitor the player to finalize the details of the deal and ensure the acceptance of the sports offer.
