Betis make their move for Vinícius Júnior
$38.0M on the table at Real Madrid. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Betis make their move for Unai Simón
$25.8M on the table at Athletic Bilbao. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Betis turn down Osasuna for Antony
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Betis baulk at the price for João Cancelo
Barcelona wanted more than $4.2M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Antony signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Antony commits to Betis for another 5 years.

Betis go back to the board over Vinícius Júnior
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $40.9M — a club that wants Vinícius Júnior enough to be asked twice.

Betis rebuffed over Ignacio Perruzzi
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. San Lorenzo have kept their man, and Betis go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Betis may not be able to give Valentín Gómez what he wants
