🔎 Betis eye up Martin Vitík: young, powerful and a bargain | OneFootball

Real Betis continues to scour the market for a center-back to complete their defense for the 2025-26 season, and one of the names that has gained strength in recent hours is that of Martin Vitík. The young Sparta Prague defender, just 22 years old and 1.93 meters tall, has become a top priority on the club's agenda due to his physical profile, growth margin, and favorable contract situation.

The sports management, led by Manu Fajardo, is already working with several names on the table, but Vitík's stands out for meeting several conditions that fit the Betis plan: he is young, an international with the Czech Republic, has played in European competitions, and is entering the final year of his contract with his club. This would allow for a lower-cost negotiation, with a possible transfer for less than 10 million euros.

The center-back left a good impression in the two matches he played against Betis during the last edition of the Europa League, and since then has been closely followed. His physical power, anticipation ability, and good ball exit have convinced the technical team that he could adapt well to both LaLiga and Manuel Pellegrini's style of play.

In Heliópolis, they already have Natan, Bartra, and Diego Llorente secured, but they need a fourth center-back to complement the rotation and offer guarantees. If any departures occur in the defense, the incorporation of Vitík would gain even more strength within the planning.
