Betis' pursuit of Salah-Eddine versus Roma's squad overhaul

Real Betis have opened talks with AS Roma about a possible transfer of Morocco full‑back Salah‑Eddine, who is currently representing his country at the World Cup. The move comes as Roma push to off‑load players ahead of the June 30 deadline, highlighting contrasting strategies for the two clubs. Betis are reportedly showing strong interest in the defender and have already begun initial discussions with the Roman club to explore a transfer. The Spanish side views the full‑back as an attractive prospect for the upcoming season. Roma continue to work on outgoing deals, with Salah‑Eddine listed among those who could leave Trigoria in the coming weeks. The Giallorossi management sees his sale as part of a broader squad rationalisation plan.

Negotiations between Betis and Roma have been ongoing for several days, 30 deadline, Roma are also attempting to close secondary deals that can streamline the squad and improve transfer market management. These ancillary moves are considered useful despite their lower profile. A successful transfer would give Salah‑Eddine a new experience in the Spanish league, potentially expanding his exposure beyond the Italian Serie A. The defender’s World Cup involvement adds to his appeal. Betis remains in constant contact with Roma management, but a definitive agreement on the transfer formula and financial assessment must still be reached before the deal can be finalised. The outcome will determine whether the full‑back swaps La Liga for Serie A.
