On Monday, Ajax attempted to sign 24-year-old Spanish midfielder Sergi Altimira from Real Betis on a loan basis. However, Real Betis decided not to consider the offer. German clubs Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig have also previously approached Betis for the midfielder. Altimira, who has a contract until 2029, has made 14 appearances in LaLiga this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist. His current market value is listed as €20.00m by Transfermarkt. In the summer of 2025, it was reported that Eintracht Frankfurt had a loan offer with an €18.5 million mandatory purchase option rejected. By January 2026, Betis's asking price was said to be around €20-25 million.
