Betis set to secure deal with Gonzalo Petit in Seville
Real Betis has announced the acquisition of 18-year-old Uruguayan striker Gonzalo Petit from Nacional, in a deal worth around €6 million ($9 million). The youngster is set to join the Sevillian club this week, following his departure from Carrasco International Airport this morning.
Petit, who made his first-team debut at 17 and boasts 34 matches for Nacional, is expected to land in the Sevillian capital tomorrow around 8:40 AM. His contract with Real Betis stretches until 2030.
As Betis continues to focus on nurturing youth talent, Petit's integration into the club could take several forms. He may join Manuel Pellegrini's first team directly or be loaned out to a lower-tier Spanish team to help him adapt to European football. No concrete plans for a loan exit have been announced yet.
Petit's arrival is considered a great bet for Manu Fajardo's sports management, given his great potential and youth. The striker has expressed his excitement and eagerness about joining Real Betis, marking the start of an exciting new chapter in his career.
Upon arrival, Petit will undergo a medical examination with Real Betis this Friday and is expected to join the first team squad that is closing the first stage of preseason in Portugal. The news about Petit's signing is exclusive to the club's subscribers and registered users.
With Petit's journey taking place, the focus is on his potential to become a key figure in Betis' future plans. The sports management of the club is already looking for a loan exit for Petit in Spanish football to gain experience and add minutes to dispute the Betis attack.
