Bournemouth, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brentford target Natan
AFC Bournemouth, West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Brentford are chasing Real Betis’ Natan for the summer.
The centre-back initially joined the La Liga side on loan from Napoli in August 2024. His performances in his debut season convinced the club to make his stay permanent by exercising the €9m purchase clause.
Natan has been a regular for Real Betis this season and has attracted Bournemouth, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brentford interest.
The Brazilian has played 3,112 minutes from 37 matches in all competitions so far this season.
His La Liga stats per game are as follows.
Interceptions: 1.2
Tackles: 1.1
Ball recovered: 3.1
Dribbled past: 0.3
Clearances: 7.0
Blocked shots: 0.6
Duels won: 3.8
Nuno Espírito Santo already tried to sign the defender in the winter market. Two months ago, Sport Witness covered claims from Spain that Real Betis rejected three bids from the Hammers.

West Ham United continue to maintain their interest in Natan and face a battle to secure his services.
That’s according to Wednesday’s edition of ABC Sevilla, which covers the Hammers, AFC Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Brentford’s interest.
Transfer interest in Natan from West Ham, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Brentford
The Cherries are the ‘most interested’ club while Real Betis are also well aware of West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brentford desire to secure the 25-year-old’s services.
Marco Senesi’s contract expires in June and he’s likely to leave the Vitality Stadium as a free agent.
Bournemouth view the Real Betis defender as an ideal target to replace the Argentine. As they face a potential battle with West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brentford, Andoni Iraola’s side have ‘already made a move’ to sign him.
Meanwhile, the Spanish club need to balance their books before June 30th and identify Natan as one of the most feasible sale candidates to raise funds.
Real Betis are aware of Bournemouth’s keen interest and expect another club with better financial resources to try and sign Natan. ABC Sevilla state they value him at €40m but it isn’t clear whether any of suitors are willing to meet their demand.
Contract, value and agent info
Natan has a contract until 2030 and Transfermarkt value him at €25m, the highest in his career.
