According to the website Fichajes, Real Madrid are targeting Real Betis' Brazilian defender, Natan. The 25-year-old is under contract with Real Betis until the summer of 2030. Real Madrid are looking to strengthen their defence with a solid player capable of further development. Club officials believe that signing Natan would be a strong addition for both the short and long term due to his age, current form and future potential.

Real Madrid has made signing a new centre-back a priority for the summer of 2026 and is now interested in Real Betis centre-back Natan. The 24-year-old Brazilian has also drawn interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle United. Natan would like to join Madrid as a move would align with his personal preference to remain in Spain.
