FC Barcelona have reached out to Real Betis regarding Natan, the 25-year-old Brazilian centre-back whose transfer value sits between €30 million and €35 million.
Natan has quietly put together a strong campaign at Betis, recording 32 tackles and 37 interceptions during the 2025/26 La Liga season.
Why Natan fits Barcelona’s shopping list
Barcelona’s defensive needs point specifically toward a left-footed centre-back with La Liga experience. Natan checks both boxes. His comfort on the ball from the left side, combined with a full season of operating in La Liga’s tactical environment, makes him a plug-and-play option who wouldn’t need to adapt to a new league or style of football.
Real Betis are reportedly leaning toward the upper end of that €30-35 million valuation range. They originally purchased Natan for approximately €9 million, meaning a sale at €35 million would represent nearly a fourfold return on investment.
