Real Betis ‘to push’ for Sofyan Amrabat return despite Fenerbahce fee hurdle | OneFootball

Real Betis are pressing on with their pursuit of Sofyan Amrabat after his loan at the Benito Villamarin last season.

According to AS, the arrival of Vasconcelos Bernal has given Betis greater solidity and balance in midfield, yet Manuel Pellegrini still wants another defensive option and views Amrabat's return as the solution.

The deal remains complicated, with Fenerbahce seeking a hefty fee for a permanent transfer and Betis unable to match figures above 10 million euros.

Other offers have reached the midfielder, yet he is holding out for a La Liga return and favours Betis after feeling at home in his first year there.

All parties want a swift resolution.

On the pitch, Amrabat sees scope to play a big part in a season when the Champions League adds extra incentive, with Pellegrini needing to double up on options across most positions.
