According to Gazzetta.gr, the competition for Unai Lopez includes Real Betis, Athletic Bilbao, Rayo Vallecano, and Olympiacos. Real Betis was a strong contender for the player but did not pursue him as intensely as the other three clubs.

Unai López will become a free agent this summer when his contract with Rayo Vallecano expires, attracting interest from several clubs in Spain and Europe. According to Gazzetta, Real Betis and Villarreal have entered the competition for the midfielder, and his former team, Athletic Bilbao, is also competing to sign him. A significant factor could be that both Betis and Villarreal are in the Champions League, but López is not anticipated to make a decision until after May 27th.
