Real Betis is actively shaping its squad for the 2025-2026 season, with one of its key transfer targets being Pablo Maffeo, the RCD Mallorca right-back who has previously represented the Argentina national team.
With Giovani Lo Celso as one of the midfield leaders, the Verdiblancos aim to strengthen their squad to remain competitive for European qualification. According to Marca, negotiations between Betis and Maffeo are progressing well, and the deal could be finalized in the coming months.
✅ Pablo Maffeo: A Key Signing for Betis
The right-back, born in Sant Joan Despí, Spain, but with international experience for Argentina, has been identified as a crucial reinforcement for Betis.
📌 Current Right-Back Situation at Betis
Betis currently has Héctor Bellerín, Youssouf Sabaly, and Aitor Ruibal as right-back options.
🔹 However, Maffeo’s arrival is a direct request from Manu Fajardo, the club’s sporting director.
💰 The potential transfer fee is around €8 million, an amount that Mallorca previously rejected in the winter transfer window. However, the Balearic club is now more open to negotiations if the offer meets their expectations.
💰 Mallorca Open to Maffeo’s Departure This Summer
Pablo Maffeo has already expressed his desire to leave Mallorca. In a recent interview with La Zona 10, the 27-year-old defender admitted he had been seeking a transfer since January, but the move didn’t materialize.
🔹 “I wanted to leave because I felt things weren’t right for me personally here,” Maffeo stated.
Despite being under contract until 2027, Mallorca has now agreed to facilitate his departure during the summer transfer window as long as the financial conditions are met.
🟢 Betis Strengthening for European Ambitions
With Manuel Pellegrini’s team fighting for a European spot, Betis is determined to reinforce its squad with high-quality signings.
Pablo Maffeo would be a perfect fit for Betis’ tactical setup, offering:
✅ Speed and attacking depth down the right flank
✅ LaLiga experience
✅ Defensive and offensive versatility
🔜 Will the Transfer Be Completed?
With Maffeo and Betis already reaching a salary agreement, the only step remaining is for both clubs to finalize the transfer fee.
