  • Mexican midfielder Álvaro Fidalgo, who played in the 2026 World Cup and scored at Estadio Azteca, is finding it difficult to secure consistent playing time at Real Betis.
  • Spanish press reports suggest Fidalgo may not be in manager Manuel Pellegrini's plans for the 2026-27 season, with the club open to offers.
  • Getafe is reportedly interested in signing Fidalgo to strengthen their midfield, potentially offering him more playing time in Spain's top league.

Álvaro Fidalgo's return to European football with Real Betis has proven more challenging than anticipated, despite achieving a significant career milestone by playing in the 2026 World Cup with the Mexican national team and scoring at the iconic Estadio Azteca.

The midfielder, who emerged from Real Madrid's youth academy, has struggled to establish himself in Manuel Pellegrini's squad. Reports from Spanish media indicate that Fidalgo's place in the team for the 2026-27 season is not guaranteed, as the club faces strong competition in midfield and needs to manage its roster.

While Fidalgo's intention is to fight for a place at Betis, the limited opportunities for consistent minutes have led the club's management to consider offers. This situation has attracted the attention of other European clubs, including Getafe.

Getafe, currently competing in Spain's top division, is reportedly considering Fidalgo as a potential reinforcement for their midfield. Such a move could provide the Mexican player with the increased playing time and continuity he seeks in a major European league.
