Real Betis target issues come-and-get-me plea – “Everyone knows it’s my home”
Real Betis are ready to splash the cash for another crack at Sporting Braga's Ricardo Horta!
The Seville side recently signed the Portuguese international's international teammate William Carvalho and are now setting their sights on the winger.
Horta, 27, has been with Braga since 2016 and has scored 75 goals in 261 appearances for the club.
He has also been capped 15 times by Portugal and was part of the squad that won the inaugural UEFA Nations League in 2019.
What has been said?
The player has reportedly told friends that he would be interested in a move to Betis.
He said: "Everyone knows that Betis is my home. I have a lot of friends there and I love the city."
Betis are believed to be preparing a bid of around €20 million for Horta.
Why do Real Betis want him?
Betis are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of their return to the Europa League next season.
They have already signed Carvalho from Braga and are also interested in signing Horta's teammate Vitinha.
Horta would add pace and creativity to Betis' attack, and he would be a valuable asset to the team.
What are the chances of a deal?
A deal is possible, but it will depend on whether or not Braga are willing to sell Horta.
The Portuguese club are reluctant to lose one of their key players, but they may be tempted to cash in if they receive a good offer.
Betis are confident that they can sign Horta, and they are prepared to pay a significant fee to get him.
