Betis open to Sergi Altimira talks, but quote Sporting a sky-high fee | OneFootball

Sergi Altimira is one of the names referenced by Sporting to strengthen the midfield next season, at a time when the Lions are expecting significant changes to the squad. The Betis midfielder will not leave for less than €30 million.

According to Bruno Andrade, the 24-year-old footballer is considered an important asset by the Andalusian club and the board of the Seville-based side has no immediate intention of selling the player, especially as it is already planning other departures in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Even so, it is willing to open the door to negotiations if a suitable offer comes in, and the final fee could be adjusted depending on the terms presented. The initial aim is to begin talks above market value, although a lower figure is not ruled out if an agreement is reached.

The Manuel Pellegrini pupil, developed at Barcelona and with a spell at Sabadell, has been establishing himself at Betis over the last three seasons and has emerged as one of the main options being considered by Sporting to make up for the likely departure of Morten Hjulmand.

This season, Sergi Altimira - valued at €20 million - has already made 38 appearances for Real Betis: 22 in La Liga, 11 in the Europa League and five in the Copa del Rey.
