Javi López, a 23-year-old Spanish defender, is on the verge of being transferred from Real Sociedad to Real Betis in the near future. The player has been deemed surplus to requirements by Sergio Francisco, and Real Betis has made an offer that would enable Real Sociedad to recoup the 6.5 million euros they paid to Deportivo Alavés a year prior. According to Diario de Sevilla, the offer from Betis could involve either an immediate transfer or a loan with a compulsory purchase option, a proposal that appears to satisfy all parties concerned. In the previous season, Javi López had substantial playing time under Imanol Alguacil, featuring in 29 LaLiga matches and nine additional games in the Copa del Rey and Europa League. Nevertheless, his performances were not convincing enough, resulting in his being listed for transfer following Sergio Francisco's arrival. The player's contract with Real Sociedad remains valid until June 30, 2030, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €7.5 million.
