We'll see if he'll actually be sold. Almeria don't want to sell during the season and refers to his 12m clause which is probably too much for Betis.
One option that's probably more likely is getting Vina on loan from Roma.
I've also read Betis is considering including Manu Sanchez (AM's player on loan at Osasuna) in a potential Borja Iglesias move to Atletico. Tbh hope it won't happen as Panda is important for them and I hope Betis will finish this season strong. Don't know their financial situation but I think qualifying for CL would be a better way to improve finances than to sell key players in January. Replacing Alex Moreno will probably be hard enough.

Surely CL qualification would grant that?
And imagine that they won LaCopa and will play in the Saudi Cup on Thursday yet still won't earn enough to balance the books. Betis have a net balance of 37.7m surplus over the past 3 seasons too.
LaLiga clubs are seriously limited in their growth, and thus investment, potential. Tebas always cites the FFP as a means to avoid what happened with the likes of Depor and Zara but ignores this was pre more equitable TV rights distributions, pre-international rights sales increases, pre-national rights sales increases and pre-CVC.
Meanwhile thanks purely to sale of future rights % Barcelona spent more than PSG this Summer, yet the total transfer expenditure of the whole of Ligue1 exceeded the transfer expenditure of LaLiga last summer.
Over the past in-fact 2 years Ligue1 clubs have spent 150m more in transfer fees than LaLiga clubs, and that is with Barcelona and Madrid outspending PSG by roughly 100m over this period. So it is not a case of Ligue1 spending power being skewed by PSG, but that they have more relaxed FFP that's incentivising investment for the other clubs.
In the end Betis are signing 22yr old Brazilian Abner to replace Alex Moreno

Were we not also linked to Abner a few years ago? Betis will apparently pay 5m for 50% of his rights. Will be interesting to see how he'll do in La Liga.
I have no idea. Only Brazilian LB I recall us linked with of recent is Caio Henrique.
What's changed in Betis SD department of late btw. Their scouting has been quite shrewd and more concise than Monchi for example. They have managed to go up a level these past seasons which makes me wonder what they could do on a bigger budget.
