According to a report by AS, as relayed by Sport Witness, Sergi Altimira remains the subject of interest from Fulham. The Cottagers are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder in the winter transfer window. So, the 24-year-old Real Betis midfield prospect has emerged as a target for the West London club.
The latest report has revealed that the Cottagers have submitted a “strong offer” to secure the Spaniard’s services in the winter transfer window. Meanwhile, Real Betis will demand around €20 million to part ways with Altimira, with the Andalusian outfit ready to sell him this month.
Sergi Altimira has established himself as one of the most promising young midfield prospects in La Liga since joining Real Betis from Getafe in August 2023. A native of Cardedeu, the 24-year-old spent his formative years in Spain and graduated from the youth division at CE Sabadell. The Spanish midfielder made considerable progress in the last 30 months, becoming a mainstay in the middle of the park for Real Betis.
Altimira has made nearly 100 appearances thus far for Los Verdiblancos while chipping in with five goals and three assists. Meanwhile, his progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known outfits. Premier League clubs, in particular, have been keen on signing the Real Betis midfielder, with Fulham among the prospective suitors for his signature in the winter transfer window.
Fulham’s interest in Sergi Altimira is somewhat surprising. Marco Silva has a solid midfield unit in his squad, with Sander Berge and Sasa Lukic forging a solid partnership in the middle of the park. However, the Fulham manager wants more firepower in the centre of the pitch.
Several candidates, including Arthur Atta, have thus emerged on Fulham’s wishlist, with Altimira also a viable target. The latest report has revealed that they have made a “strong offer” to sign the Spaniard from Real Betis in the winter transfer window.
The Andalusian outfit will demand around €20 million to part ways with Altimira, and they are ready to sell him this month. With Fulham pushing hard to secure the 24-year-old Spanish midfielder’s signature, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for him.
