La Liga
Real Betis is determined to strengthen its squad with two key signings: Antony and Dani Ceballos. The green-and-white club is looking to make room in its squad through some departures, with the intention of signing both players, considered essential to aim for European spots in LaLiga.
The Brazilian winger, who played on loan last season at Real Betis, was a key player on the path to the Conference League final, where the team lost to Chelsea. In 26 matches, Antony scored 9 goals and provided 5 assists, showcasing his quality and importance in Manuel Pellegrini's system. Currently, the club cannot afford the high cost demanded by Manchester United, the owner of his rights. However, Antony is waiting for an offer from Real Betis and has turned down other offers, showing his desire to play again in Seville under the orders of the Chilean coach.

Dani Ceballos, the more complicated case
On the other hand, the return of Dani Ceballos is a priority to bolster Real Betis' midfield. Although the player is still considered a rotational piece by Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso, the white club demands 30 million for his sale. Nevertheless, Real Betis aims to secure a loan with a purchase option. Ceballos, a player with experience at the club, would bring creativity and balance to the midfield. His arrival would complement the team and provide Pellegrini with more tactical alternatives to face the season with ambitious goals.
To make these operations possible, Real Betis has already taken concrete steps by offloading players like Jesús Rodríguez, transferred to Como, and Johnny Cardoso, who signed with Atlético de Madrid. These sales free up salary space and enable the club to try to finalize the signings of Antony and Ceballos. So far, the team has announced the signings of Rodrigo Riquelme, Nelson Deossa, Valentín Gómez, Natan, and Junior Firpo, but the coaching staff believes that the arrivals of the Brazilian and the Spanish players are crucial to make a definitive quality leap.

Manuel Pellegrini wants Antony and Ceballos
Manuel Pellegrini sees Antony and Dani Ceballos as key pieces to compete in LaLiga and aim for the UEFA Champions League. The squad he is building aims to solidify its position in the top 4 and maintain stability in European competitions.
The Brazilian offers speed, imbalance, and goal-scoring ability, while Ceballos brings experience, vision, and tempo control in midfield. Their potential arrival would allow Real Betis to have a more versatile squad ready to face multiple competitions.
