Manchester City and Barcelona show interest in Betis defender Natan

Manchester City are actively searching for reinforcements in central defence as the transfer window ticks down, eyeing a move for 25-year-old Brazilian defender Natan from Real Betis. Catalan giants Barcelona are also keeping tabs on the player.

The Brazilian centre-back made his move to Seville in July 2025 from Napoli for a fee of around €9 million, signing a long-term contract that runs through to the summer of 2030.

Given the rapid progress Natan has made, Betis are now open to the prospect of selling him in this window for a fee estimated between €35 million and €40 million.

Transfermarkt currently values the player at around €25 million, suggesting a significant profit for Betis if the deal materialises.
