Real Betis ‘to seek’ Franjo Ivanovic loan as Benfica insist on €20 million or obligation | OneFootball

Benfica are standing firm over Franjo Ivanovic’s future, with Real Betis interested but talks moving back and forth. The club do not plan to approve any exit that falls short of their terms.

According to A BOLA, Betis want the Croatian international on a season-long loan with an option to buy. That proposal does not satisfy Benfica.

The hierarchy, led by Rui Costa, will only consider an immediate payment of €20 million or a loan that includes a mandatory purchase clause. They view these as the only formulas that protect the club’s finances.

Betis are working to narrow the gap and find a route to a deal. For now, they have no assurance they can meet Benfica’s demands.

The situation remains at an impasse, with progress followed by setbacks. As the market enters its decisive phase, Marco Silva is waiting for clarity on Ivanovic’s next step.
