Fichajes has reported that Chelsea are actively monitoring Real Betis centre-back Natan ahead of a potential move before Transfer Deadline Day. The report also claims that a €40m bid is being prepared and that the Blues are confident of finalising a deal for the 24-year-old.

Chelsea are interested in Real Betis defender Natan and have scouted the 24-year-old extensively this season. The Premier League club reportedly faces competition from Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Real Madrid for the Brazilian. Natan would prefer to join Madrid, as he wishes to remain in Spain rather than move abroad. The centre-back joined Betis in July 2025, is under contract until 2030, and has provided 5 assists in LaLiga this season. His current Transfermarkt market value is €20.00m. According to recent reports from December 2025, Natan would cost around €40 million. In June 2025, Real Betis reportedly set an asking price of €45 million after making his move permanent for a fee of €9 million.
