Real Betis Rejects Major Eintracht Frankfurt Offer For Sergi Altimira

Real Betis has refused a big transfer offer from Eintracht Frankfurt for midfielder Sergi Altimira. The club wants to keep him as a key part of their team.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In late August, Eintracht Frankfurt offered €18.5 million for Altimira, with add-ons up to €22.5 million. The offer included a loan with a mandatory buy clause. Real Betis rejected this, sticking to their plan. They see Altimira as important and didn’t want to sell him. This isn’t the first time Betis turned down such a proposal, showing his growing value in Europe. In fact, Eintracht Frankfurt showed interest in Sergi Altimira but Betis did not sell him.

WHY ALTIMIRA IS SO IMPORTANT TO BETIS

This season, Altimira has been key in midfield for Betis. He’s played in nearly all their La Liga matches, assisting two goals and scoring one himself.

Betis is currently 8th in La Liga, with 4 games played. They’re four points behind the teams in 3rd and 4th place, Villarreal and Barcelona, although they have one more match played. With tough games coming up, Altimira’s energy and passing are needed, especially with injuries and European matches. His role is important as Betis aims for a European spot, improving on last season’s results. Notably, Real Betis finished sixth in La Liga last season, earning Europa League football.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR ALTIMIRA AND BETIS?

With Altimira staying, Betis will now focus on their next La Liga match against Levante, who are 19th in the table with only one point won so far. This game can affect the race for European spots.

Altimira is expected to keep starting in midfield, helping Betis move up the table during a tough schedule. Fans will watch closely to see if the team can use their stable squad for a strong finish to the year.
