Fluminense agree sale of Facundo Bernal to Real Betis | OneFootball

Fluminense have agreed to sell defensive midfielder Facundo Bernal to Real Betis. The Uruguayan will travel to Spain in the coming hours to join his new club and begin pre-season. The information was first reported by journalist Marcello Neves of ge.

The deal was closed for around US$10 million (approximately R$52 million) for 100% of the player’s economic rights. Fluminense owned 60% of Bernal’s rights and negotiated with Defensor of Uruguay, which held the other 40%, to increase its share in the operation and raise the amount it will receive from the transfer.

The agreement had already been considered advanced in recent days, but details involving agents and the division of the player’s percentages delayed the signing of the contract. The pending issues were resolved this Saturday, allowing the deal to be completed and the midfielder to be released.

Even before the transfer was officially finalized, Bernal underwent medical exams in Rio de Janeiro. In Spanish football, he will sign a contract with Real Betis until June 2030.

Signed by Fluminense in August 2024, Bernal was under contract with the club until the end of 2028. At the time, Tricolor paid US$3.6 million (around R$20 million) to acquire 60% of the defensive midfielder’s economic rights from Defensor.
