Coming to the close of the season, the 27-year-old midfielder finds himself facing the end of his current contract, with little chance of a renewal. Rumors abound that Spanish outfit Real Betis are eyeing him as a potential late winter signing.
Although the midfielder is now free to negotiate a pre-contract with clubs outside of England, Real Betis is reportedly eager to secure his services as soon as possible, with an expected formal bid being tabled before next week’s deadline, according to sources close to the situation.
Fornals, who has spent the last five years in London, has proved himself a valuable addition to the team, directly contributing to an impressive 42 goals in 203 games across all competitions. His familiarity with La Liga, having previously played for Villarreal, only adds to his appeal as a potential signing for Real Betis, given his strong understanding of the league’s dynamics.
