According to reports coming in hot from trusted market insider Matteo Moretto, Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers are not playing around at all—they’re seriously chasing the signature of Real Betis’ young centre-back, Nobel Mendy.
Who is Mendy, you ask? Calm down, let’s break it down small-small.
The 20-year-old Senegalese defender was permanently signed by Real Betis in the summer of 2024. Even though he spent most of the last season playing for the club’s reserve team, he still managed to squeeze into five appearances for Manuel Pellegrini’s senior squad across all competitions.
Now here’s where the matter starts to get juicier. Despite his limited first-team action, his performances allegedly caught the attention of multiple clubs across Europe. Na wa o, one season and eyes don dey enter.
It’s been claimed that PSV Eindhoven and Rayo Vallecano have shown strong interest, with Rayo supposedly leading the charge earlier this summer.
But wait oo—omo, things just took another twist!
Matteo Moretto is now reporting that Rangers have entered the scene with full chest. According to him:
“Glasgow Rangers are making a strong push between Nobel Mendy and Rayo Vallecano. The Scottish club want the Betis centre-back.”
In other words, this no be small fight. Rangers are said to be going head-to-head with Rayo Vallecano to lock down this rising star.
Whether Mendy will lean towards the Scottish giants or remain in La Liga still remains unclear. But one thing is sure—this boy’s future is getting attention from big football streets.
No official statement from Real Betis yet, so let’s not conclude. But as it stands, this transfer saga is one to watch closely. 👀
