Betis makes offer for OM prospect Antoine Valero

Betis have moved in the market for OM youngster Antoine Valero. As L'Équipe reports, the Spanish club has sent an offer of €500,000 to Marseille’s sporting department.

Valero is a 18-year-old forward still on a trainee contract. While L'Équipe notes he isn’t the kind of departure that would “save” Marseille’s finances, the situation could still change: the article says Valero could leave OM before Tuesday night. The piece also recalls that Marseille has recently made a proposal for him to sign a first professional contract.

Shared interest from Lens

The Betis bid doesn’t come alone. L'Équipe explains that Lens is also interested and is watching the player’s situation closely.

Next steps to watch

For now, it’s an offer on the table. The important questions are whether OM accepts and how Valero responds, with the deadline highlighted by the same source. Either way, it’s a deal to follow given the player’s profile and the pro-contract push Marseille has already made.
