Real Betis Balompié confirmed the signing of Troy Parrott for a €20 million deal after a call from Caoimhín Kelleher, former Liverpool goalkeeper. The club, aiming to compete in the Champions League for the first time in over 20 years, prioritized the transfer after West Ham's delay. Parrott, who played for AZ Alkmaar, becomes the most expensive signing in the club's history. The deal materialized after Galatasaray withdrew from the competition, allowing Betis to act swiftly. The club also strengthened its squad with names like Fabio Silva and Santiago Giménez, though ultimately chose Parrott after his standout performance in Dutch football (51 goals in 97 matches). The striker, who arrives with a contract until 2031, reflects Betis' ambition to rise to European elite status. The club, investing 80 million euros in its stadium by 2027, expects Parrott to contribute to its goal of competing with Spain's top clubs.
