AS has reported that Real Betis is interested in acquiring Rodrigo Riquelme from Atlético de Madrid as a possible replacement for Jesús Rodríguez, who may depart the club. The anticipated transfer fee is estimated to be between eight to ten million euros. Riquelme's limited playing time at Atlético makes the transfer a viable option for all parties involved. Although negotiations are not yet advanced, Betis views Riquelme as a valuable addition to Manuel Pellegrini's system. This interest from Betis is not new, as Riquelme has been considered in previous transfer windows. Riquelme's limited playtime under Simeone last season at Atlético, totaling only 507 minutes, underscores his potential availability. During the 22-23 season, he demonstrated his abilities by scoring four goals and providing four assists while playing over 2,000 minutes on loan at Girona, highlighting his performance when given more playing time.
