Real Betis has signed 19-year-old Brazilian central defender Robson Fernandes from Palmeiras on a loan deal that includes a purchase option. The club's sporting director, Manu Fajardo, stated that the first team's sporting direction is very excited about the player's profile and is convinced he can provide a lot of joy in the present and the medium term. According to the official communication from Real Betis, the loan is until the end of the season, with the possibility of a one-season extension. The purchase option is for 50% of the player's rights and is set at €4 million. Fernandes will play for Betis Deportivo in Group 2 of Primera RFEF. The official announcement was delayed until Tuesday night, as it was pending final approval from various bodies for the transfer's bureaucratic process. This process was completed upon his registration with the Andalusian Federation. He has been a part of the Brazil U20 national team setup.
