An argument for Marcos Llorente

Part of the Betis fans have Real Madrid as their second team and surely they will support the white team tonight against PSG in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

The club made an attempt last summer and also until the end of the winter transfer window.

After Zou Feddal's serious injury, Betis can register the Moroccan defender this season and then sign new players, either Spanish players or unemployed foreign players. In Heliopolis, they prefer the first option because with only three months of competition left, there would not be enough time for the adaptation of the new player, preferably a defensive midfielder who can also play as a center-back.
