Real Betis is competing with Fulham and VfL Wolfsburg to sign AZ's 23-year-old Irish striker Troy Parrott. While AZ's asking price has not been reported, Wolfsburg was supposedly willing to pay approximately €20 million, although it is not clear if this is still the situation after their recent signing of Kento Shiogai. Parrott is said to be carefully considering his next move and is reportedly contemplating a return to the Premier League, where he previously played for Tottenham Hotspur, if a suitable offer is made. The forward, who joined AZ in July 2024 and is contracted until June 2029, has scored 9 goals in 13 Eredivisie appearances this season. Parrott has 33 caps and 10 goals for Ireland, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €22.00m. In the summer of 2025, AZ Alkmaar reportedly rejected an €18 million bid from VfL Wolfsburg.
