Real Betis representatives are in Italy to discuss Inter midfielder Kristjan Asllani and Milan full-back Emerson Royal.
According to Sky Sport Italia, these figures from LaLiga are in intensive negotiations to take two players from Serie A.
The first is Inter midfielder Asllani, who has not done enough to convince coach Cristian Chivu that he can take the reins, even if Hakan Calhanoglu isn’t sold to Galatasaray.
The Albania international was purchased from Empoli for €15.7m and is under contract until June 2028, but made 39 competitive appearances last season, contributing three goals and three assists.
The asking price would be around €20m, with an offer barely at €8m.
Real Betis targeting both Emerson and Asllani
Meanwhile, Betis are also interested in picking up Milan right-back Emerson Royal, who cost €15m to sign from Tottenham Hotspur only a year ago and has found very little playing time.
This would represent a return to Real Betis for the Brazilian, who was already at the club from 2019 to 2021.
