Real Betis is interested in Jeanuël Belocian for the upcoming season, as the club's sporting management, led by Manu Fajardo, seeks reinforcements at left-back and potential replacements in central defence in the event Natan is sold. Belocian is a 21-year-old French defender who came through the Rennes academy and is a seven-time France U21 international. He has a contract with Bayer 04 Leverkusen until 2029 and is currently on loan at Racing de Santander, which he joined in September 2026.

Betis's technical staff have watched the defender play live and have compiled positive reports. Belocian can play as both a central defender and a left-back, though the club's monitoring of him is in an initial phase. According to Transfermarkt, the player has a current market value of €12.00M. He was also linked with clubs such as FC Augsburg, Lens, and SV Werder Bremen during the last transfer window.
