Álvaro Fidalgo damages knee ligaments — 20 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 20 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Betis baulk at the price for Kévin Denkey
FC Cincinnati wanted more than $13.9M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Both of them Ez Abde's — 8.81
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.81, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Betis say no — this time
The offer from Almería for Marc Bartra was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Álvaro Valles stands alone
7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Betis rebuffed over Karim Konaté
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Red Bull Salzburg have kept their man, and Betis go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Market24 Aug 2026
Rodrigo Marina moves on
Lugo pay $1.9M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Deportivo La Coruña watching Cédric Bakambu
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Betis have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Words exchanged at Betis
Natan and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
