Real Betis Balompié is about to acquire the permanent services of Brazilian defender Natan from Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli for €8 million, according to sources. The Spanish club is set to exercise the buyout option they have in the loan agreement, allowing the 24-year-old centre-back to sign a deal until 2029. Natan has shown his worth during the season, playing in 39 matches at the Benito Villamarín Stadium and scoring two goals and two assists.
Brazilian defender proves worth during successful loan stint at Real Betis BalompiéSince joining on loan from Napoli in 2024, Natan has been crucial to Manuel Pellegrini’s plan for defence. The Brazilian has stood out in European matches, helping Real Betis Balompié win over KAA Gent and Vitoria de Guimaraes in the UEFA Conference League . Even with Diego Llorente and Marc Bartra competing for spots, Natan’s versatility and technique made the Verdiblancos’ sporting department decide to keep him on a permanent contract.

Natan was signed by Napoli from Red Bull Bragantino in Brazil for €10 million in the summer of 2023, but he found it hard to adjust in Italy. Moving the team to Seville gave Inter Milan a €2 million loss, but it also brought them extra funds to use in the transfer window.

Real Betis Balompié is building a defensive foundation for European aspirationsBringing in Natan is a move by Real Betis Balompié to improve their defence as they aim to reach Europe. According to club officials, paying €8 million for Natan is great value because of his age and the potential he has to improve.

The official confirmation will come before the end of May, once the Spanish season has completed. Real Betis Balompié fans can expect to see the Brazilian in their next matches, especially during the crucial game against Atlético Madrid on May 25, which will be broadcast on LaLiga TV at 21:00 CET.
