New Real Betis Signing?

Charalampos Kostoulas has emerged as one of the biggest promises in European football in recent months. At just 17 years old, the Greek attacking midfielder has stood out for his tactical intelligence, excellent ball control, and his ability to create plays from the midfield. During this season, he has played 15 matches with Olympiakos' first team, scoring one goal and providing two assists, becoming a key piece in the future of coach Diego Martínez's setup.

Real Betis, under the direction of Ramón Planes in the technical secretary, seems determined to bet on the talent of the young Greek as part of its squad rejuvenation strategy. According to sources close to the negotiation, the Andalusian club would be willing to offer an initial amount of 5 million euros, with the possibility of including variable clauses that could raise the final cost to 8 million, plus a percentage of a future sale.

The operation makes sense in the context of Betis' philosophy, a team that has proven to be an ideal platform for the development of young talents. Under Manuel Pellegrini's guidance, Kostoulas would have the opportunity to grow surrounded by experienced players and in a competitive environment like LaLiga.

From Greece, it has been leaked that Olympiakos would not see Kostoulas' departure in a bad light, as long as the economic conditions are favorable. However, other teams like Manchester United and RB Leipzig have also shown interest, which could complicate Betis' aspirations.

Kostoulas, who has kept a low profile regarding the rumors, recently commented: "I am focused on continuing to improve and helping my team. The future is something that my club and my surroundings will decide." These words have fueled even more speculation about his possible departure.

If the signing is completed, Real Betis would add a raw diamond to its squad, with the potential to become a key player in the near future. For now, negotiations continue, and the next days will be decisive in defining whether Kostoulas will be wearing the green and white jersey in this winter market.
