Real Betis Balompié only considers loan for Borja Alonso amid Zaragoza interest

Real Betis Balompié only considers a loan for Borja Alonso amid Zaragoza interest. The 22-year-old left winger, born in Las Palmas on 22-04-2004, will not be transferred permanently according to his agency, which insists he will not move to a Primera RFEF club.

What does Borja Alonso's agency say about his future?

The player's representation has been clear: "Borja Alonso no saldrá traspasado a un Primera RFEF". This stance limits Zaragoza's options, which are seeking a permanent signing following Hansson's contract termination due to personal issues. Betis, meanwhile, only values a loan move, as confirmed by Santiago Valero: "El Betis solo contempla la cesión para Borja Alonso".

How has Borja Alonso progressed through the youth ranks?

After spending time at Real Madrid Castilla, where he made 19 appearances with 1 goal and 4 assists in 842 minutes, Alonso joined Betis' filial side. Last season he was a key player for Betis Deportivo in Primera RFEF: 31 matches, 7 goals, 1 assist and 2,287 minutes, becoming the second-most used player behind Gnangoro Bouare. His contract with Betis runs until 2029, reinforcing the club's stance against rushing his departure.

What options does Zaragoza have given the refusal to sell?

With the transfer window closing on September 1, Zaragoza could adjust their bid to a loan to meet the agency's conditions. Besides Aragonese interest, Alonso has offers from Eldense, Andorra, Hércules, Murcia and UD Logroñés, all Segunda RFEF or higher clubs, but none in Primera RFEF according to his entourage.

How does this affect Betis in their current competitive situation?

Pellegrini's side arrives at this scenario with a strong start in La Liga: 2 wins from 2 games, 6 points, +2 goal difference and an upcoming away fixture against Levante on August 29 as the 17th-ranked team. Keeping Alonso in the reserve team or loaning him out without losing ownership allows Betis to plan for the future without weakening their sporting project, a detail that can be further explored via our fixtures and standings pages.
