Real Betis confirm the return of defender Hector Bellerin

Bellerin, 28, had previously spent a successful loan spell at Betis starting in August 2021 and expressed his desire to return last season.

However, the club's financial constraints prevented his comeback despite Bellerin's willingness to accept a reduced salary.

Afterward, Bellerin joined Barcelona on a one-year contract but struggled for playing time, featuring in only seven games. In January 2023, he opted to leave and moved to Sporting CP, where he made 13 appearances and scored one goal.

The details of Bellerin's new agreement with Betis have not been disclosed as of yet, but the club officially announced his return through a Twitter post.

His strong connection with both the club and its supporters ensures a warm reception, while his on-field contributions promise an attacking threat.

Bellerin is expected to compete with Youssouf Sabaly for the right-back position, providing offensive width and enabling defender Aitor Ruibal to push further forward.
