Deportivo Alavés and Oviedo are two of the LaLiga teams most interested in Cédric Bakambu, a 34-year-old DR Congo international. His club, Betis, needs to generate salary space before making any winter signings. Both Spanish clubs are following the forward as they look for attacking reinforcements. Bakambu has scored one goal in seven LaLiga appearances this season. It has been reported that several foreign clubs, including some from the Italian league, have also shown interest in Bakambu's situation. The striker has 66 caps for his country, joined Betis in February 2024, and has a contract until June 2026. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1.40m. Betis reportedly asked for €2 million in January 2025, and the most recent reports from January 2026 suggest the club would be satisfied if an acquiring club paid the remainder of his salary.
