Sevilla and Betis both linked with Alavés midfielder Blanco

The situation

Antonio Blanco's name is back in the papers, with Sevilla said to be weighing a move for the Alavés midfielder and Real Betis reportedly working to better whatever Sevilla put forward. There is no open window right now; La Liga's business resumes on 1 January 2027 and runs until 2 February 2027, so nothing can be completed before then. Blanco's contract at Alavés runs to 30 June 2027, meaning he would have six months left on his deal when that window opens, not a free transfer in any immediate sense.

The reporting

The story traces back to a single outlet, El Gol Digital, who first reported it on 27 October 2026. Their account describes a derby-style scrap between Sevilla and Betis, with Fajardo also mentioned as entering the frame, but nothing here has been picked up or confirmed elsewhere. That leaves the sourcing thin: one voice, one story, no corroboration.

The outlook

Call this a long shot for now. For it to go anywhere, Sevilla would need to firm up genuine interest into an actual offer during the January window, fend off Betis, and persuade Alavés to sell a player with half a season still on his books. None of that has happened yet, and the lone source doing the reporting makes it hard to treat as anything more than early noise.

The context

Sevilla's recent transfer activity gives some shape to what a deal might cost. They paid €12m for Loïc Badé in 2023, €12m for Marcos Teixeira in 2022 and €12m for Oussama Idrissi in 2020, all bracket figures around Blanco's own €12m value today. Alavés, for context, paid just €4m to sign Blanco from Real Madrid.
