Ivanovic’s Benfica exit twists and turns: latest with Betis | OneFootball

Benfica continues to manage several transfer market dossiers, and one of them could see developments in the coming days. Despite the interest shown by a Spanish club, the structure led by Rui Costa remains firm and does not intend to facilitate any departure that does not meet the conditions set.

The player in question is Franjo Ivanovic, who is on Real Betis’ radar. According to A BOLA, the Andalusian club wants to secure the Croatian international through a loan with an option to buy at the end of the season. However, that solution does not convince the Eagles’ officials.

Benfica is only willing to let the Croatian forward leave in exchange for an immediate payment of 20 million euros or, alternatively, through a loan that includes a mandatory purchase clause. Rui Costa and Benfica’s SAD believe these are the only formulas capable of safeguarding the Club’s financial interests.

On Betis’ side, efforts continue to reduce the differences between the parties and find a solution that will allow the transfer to go through. Even so, at this stage, the Spaniards still have no guarantees that they will be able to meet Benfica’s demands.

As such, the process remains at a standstill, with back-and-forth in the negotiations. While Betis tries to move closer to the conditions set by the Eagles, Marco Silva awaits a decision on Ivanovic’s future at a time when the market is entering its decisive phase.
