Battle of European giants for a Brazilian wall. Betis defender attracts attention from superclubs

English giants Manchester United will enter an open battle with Barcelona and Manchester City for the signing of 25-year-old Real Betis centre-back Natan ahead of the 2027 season.

Details: According to football insider Ekrem Konur, all three European giants are actively preparing for a major showdown over the Brazilian defender. The clubs' recruitment departments highly rate the centre-back's tactical discipline, physical power and consistency, and plan to enter the decisive stage of negotiations with the start of the next transfer window.

The defender's impressive performances in La Liga have turned him into one of the most sought-after assets on the European scene. The Seville club's hierarchy fully understands the scale of the financial interest involved and has no intention of rushing into a sale, instead hoping to spark an auction between the Manchester and Spanish sides to secure the maximum possible fee.

It is worth noting that Natan developed as a professional footballer in his homeland, representing Flamengo and Red Bull Bragantino before moving to Italian side Napoli for a substantial fee. After joining Real Betis, the Brazilian defender quickly established himself in the Verdiblancos' starting XI, earning a reputation as one of the most effective performers in the Spanish league when it comes to aerial duels won and successful tackles.
