Spanish journalist Gonzalo Tortosa has stated that Nelson Deossa's departure from Real Betis is a possibility this summer and that a move is still being worked on. Real Betis have anticipated the 26-year-old could leave and consider a move to England an attractive outcome because of the financial benefit. Deossa’s stance has caused an issue, as he has already rejected a move to Brazil and a return to Mexico. There is significant interest from England, which is seen as the most likely route for Deossa to leave Real Betis. Scouts from Leeds United and West Ham United attended the club's friendly game against Arsenal earlier this month to watch the player. It was suggested that Leeds United and West Ham United would need to present an irresistible offer to persuade him to leave Real Betis. It is not yet clear whether Leeds or West Ham are working on a deal for Deossa.

Scouts from Leeds United were present when Real Betis and Arsenal played in a friendly match. The Spanish outlet ABC reported that Nelson Deossa wants to stay at Real Betis and intends to honour his contract. Deossa has communicated his decision to the club’s management and does not have an intention to leave at this time.

Leeds United are interested in signing 26-year-old Colombian midfielder Nelson Deossa from Real Betis this summer. West Ham United, Ipswich Town, and Wolverhampton Wanderers are also interested in the midfielder. The interested clubs are currently only monitoring his performances, and it is not yet known what asking price Real Betis will set for the player.
