Real Betis have Leicester City’s Ayoze Pérez on their radar, according to today’s edition of ABC Sevilla.
The attacking midfielder endured a difficult campaign with the Foxes last term, managing 11 starts in all competitions, out of which six came in the league.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side must offload a few players who have market and until that’s done, they cannot seriously advance for incoming deals.
Meanwhile, they have ‘sounded out’ the situation of the Leicester player for their attack. His current deal expires in 2023, and it’s thought this gives ‘more weight’ to the La Liga side during a possible negotiation with Leicester.
The Spaniard is facing the prospect of leaving the club due to the time left on his contract, high salary and lack of regular game time. Betis, who have been observing the market, have asked what options they have to sign him this summer.
Pérez will turn 29 years of age later this month and is ‘facing a key moment of his career’. He wants to return to Spain and sign the last important contract of his playing career.Betis have included his name in the target list, but it remains to be seen whether his signing will be viable, considering they are waiting to carry out sales.
Pérez, who is keen to return to Spain, is now training with Leicester City, and waiting for his situation to be defined.
