    Diario de Sevilla (via Sport Witness) report that the club are keen to re-sign the Brazil international after he proved a huge hit in the second half of last season.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    A major sticking point is that Betis cannot afford to sign the player permanently, with the fee described in the report as "exorbitant". They are hoping to secure a deal to sign him on loan with an option to loan him again for the 2026-27 campaign, while recruiting a percentage of his rights, but could face competition from Juventus.
