Real Betis, under the direction of Manuel Pellegrini , is in the midst of a search for reinforcements for its defence. The departure of several players and the needs of the team have increased the urgency of finding a centre-back who will provide solidity to the rearguard. For this reason, the club is evaluating several options to ensure the best possible reinforcement.

Among the options being considered, one of the names that has gained prominence is that of a 24-year-old Brazilian centre-back. This player has been linked with Betis for several weeks and has become one of the team's priorities. His profile fits what Manuel Pellegrini is looking for to strengthen Betis' defence.

Vitao, at just 24 years old, has already proven his quality in European football. Despite being so young, Vitao brings a combination of youth and experience in competitive leagues. His ability to read the game, his physical strength and his ability in aerial duels make him an attractive option for Betis.

Although Vitao is a standout option, Real Betis are not limiting their options to just one signing. The club have also shown interest in another centre-back, Natan, who plays for Napoli. However, the preference for Vitao reflects a specific strategy in which Manuel Pellegrini is looking to secure the best possible reinforcement.

An improvement in defense can take Betis to the top

Vitao's arrival could have a significant impact on Betis ' defensive performance. His presence at the back would bring a new dimension to the team's defensive play, improving the ability to handle opposing attacks. Manuel Pellegrini is confident that Vitao can quickly adapt to Betis' style of play and contribute from the start.

The negotiation process to sign Vitao is underway, with Betis working to close the final details. The talks include contractual and financial aspects, as well as coordinating the player's arrival at the club. Betis are willing to make a significant effort to ensure that Vitao becomes part of their squad.

With the addition of a new centre-back like Vitao, expectations for next season have been raised. Betis will hope that the defensive reinforcements will help the team improve its performance in La Liga. Manuel Pellegrini's ability to integrate these new players will be crucial to Betis' success.
