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.
