Pau López, a 30-year-old Spanish goalkeeper, ended his contract with Toluca, the Mexican football champion, ahead of schedule. According to reports from the Spanish and local press, he is aiming to return to Real Betis. Initially signed by Toluca in February to be the starting goalkeeper, López was replaced by the substitute goalkeeper, Luis García, during the final phase of the championship under the guidance of coach Antonio Mohamed. Consequently, López, who was on loan from Olympique de Marsella with a mandatory purchase option, agreed to execute the purchase and terminate the contract immediately. Now a free agent, he is anticipated to sign with Betis, a club he played for from 2018 to 2019.

Pau López, who has been playing permanently for Toluca, is set to have his contract with the Mexican club terminated. Subsequently, he is expected to join Real Betis, a club he is familiar with, having played there during the 2018-2019 season. This move would mark a return to La Liga for the Spanish goalkeeper after a season of varied experiences, including a loan to Girona where he played only three matches, and a stint at Toluca where he regained form and confidence by playing 11 matches.

Real Betis is also exploring the possibility of bringing Pau Lopez back to Andalusia, where he previously had a successful stint. The club is reportedly competing with Villarreal for his signature, as Villarreal is also monitoring Lopez's situation following his recent move to the Mexican club Toluca. Discussions of a potential contract termination with Toluca could facilitate Lopez's return to Spain, which both Betis and Villarreal are keenly observing.
